Description
In today’s rapidly evolving world, students navigate a complex reality that is often overlooked within the confines of the classroom, presenting significant challenges for teachers and educators.
In response, this course aims to equip teachers with the tools and knowledge necessary to address these challenges by utilizing Arduino, an open-source platform that facilitates the connection of technology with the physical world.
Through an interdisciplinary and hands-on approach, course participants can foster crucial skills such as problem-solving, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, all of which are considered essential for students to become active and engaged citizens in our ever-evolving society.
This course aims to provide teachers with essential knowledge for integrating Arduino into a STEAM framework, fostering creativity, and empowering students on their educational journey.
The course will offer teachers and school staff the opportunity to get to know and start using Arduino in simple projects with the Arduino Starter Kit: an easy-to-use tool to start coding.
Moreover, the course will also guide participants to use Arduino in class with their students, to foster and implement active learning.
During the course, participants will gain insights into innovative methods of incorporating Arduino into school curricula, also using student-centered methodologies, allowing their students to learn in a cooperative and creative way.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to use Arduino basics and implement STEAM-related activities into their school curriculum.
