“…In [2], a comparison of computer science related STEM curricula of different countries are presented and analyzed. Bojic and Arratia [3] present ways of introducing STEM and IoT fields to primary and secondary students, considering IoT technologies as a useful tool for improving attractiveness of STEM subjects rather than exploiting them as educational means.…”

This work studies the influence of IoT-driven educational activities and tools (software, hardware and educational material) in STEM education as well as their role as STEM related career enablers to young boys and girls. The study builds on previous related results and applies to over 60 young students that are involved in hands-on learning activities in the context of a summer school. The analysis is based on especially designed close-ended and open-ended questionnaires as well as in-class observations and focuses on age and gender aspects. The results confirm the overall positive stance of the students on the educational activities and show that the provided tools under consideration are well accepted and effectively used. Furthermore, students' choices regarding prospective future careers reveal that their views on STEM fields and related professions have significantly been enriched through their participation in the summer school.

Abstract-In this paper, the subject of embedded systems education in the Arduino age is examined. Arduino is an open-source microcontroller platform that has been widely popular in the past decade among hobbyists and academics. Arduino is increasingly being adopted in courses that span different disciplines in schools and universities. As a result, numerous papers are being published every year in different engineering education conferences and journals reporting the integration of Arduino in teaching. In this work, the impact of Arduino on embedded systems education is investigated. First, challenges facing embedded systems education are identified from the literature. Second, different Arduino teaching integration methodologies reported in the literature are surveyed and analyzed. Third, the question whether Arduino successfully addresses embedded education challenges or not is discussed taking both surveyed findings and recent market trends into consideration. Finally, a number of openended research directions are proposed.

“…Recently many reforms have appeared to address the scientific reasoning, critical thinking, and problem solving approaches. One of the ways to address the enquiry-based learning is through regular structured and well-designed STEM activities [3][4][5][6][7]. In the last few years, STEM related activities have spread widely.…”
