This study uses learn, use, practice, design, apply/analyze (LUPDA) theory to combine science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) and computational thinking (CT) concepts to develop assessment principles. The STEAM teaching activity designs and implements an artificial intelligence (AI) webcam game with micro:bit technology, AI computer vision, and deep learning techniques to recognize the user’s hand gestures via webcam. The game in our teaching experiment which can automatically interpret the user’s gestures as scissors, stone, or cloth through the webcam, and then automatically react to the user through a motor. Finally, this study proposes a set of relevant assessment principles based on STEAM, LUPDA theory, and CT concepts.
