Arduino for Developing Problem-Solving and Computing Competencies in Children

Fostering children’s problem-solving and computationalprogramming competencies is crucial at the current time. Like in other in-developing nations, children grew up with technology Chile. Developing programming seems a reachable task using high-level block-based languages. However, electronics often emerge higher educational levels. This article presents that Arduino can enhance development of encourages them to think new ways. uses TinkerCAD, an online emulator Arduino, teach fundamental electronic circuits computer program-ming components. Using TinkerCAD effectively addresses various computing electrical difficulties, such as turning on off group lights reading sensors respond acquired values. seeks develop primary school students, given significance both competencies, open nature applicability which permits language. Children took part trial saw increase their academic performance average, critical concomitant finding. The essential drawbacks this project were lack knowledge principles need use internet connection.
