“…For example, Arduino is an open source single-chip controller using script languages such as Java or C, or graphical/visual programming environments such as Scratch and Ardublock (Fernandes, Couceiro, Portugal, Machado Santos, & Rocha, 2015;López-Rodríguez & Cuesta, 2016). It is small, cheap, and easy to learn.…”

“…Becker and Park (2011) indicated that STEM education needed reforms to retain students in these fields. With the decrease in the number of STEM college graduates, researchers have been seeking ways to retain students majoring in STEM so that they are better prepared to enter the science and technology industries (Cristoforis, Pedre, Nitsche, Fischer, Pessacg, & Pietro, 2013;López-Rodríguez & Cuesta, 2016). Increased efforts have been made to reform STEM education from early childhood to college level, mainly through incorporating new technologies as well as project-based learning activities (Hagedorn & Purnamasari, 2012).…”

The robotics curriculum is one of the most common and popular curricula for stimulating students' interest in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The purpose of this study was to develop a robotics curriculum that highly integrates STEM and uses open software and hardware, and to test its effects on high school students' learning outcomes, interest, and perceptions of STEM. The study involved 82 Grade 10 students; divided into two groups, the experimental group experienced an integrated robotics STEM course, whereas the comparison group participated in a curriculum with commercial robotics. After a semester, the quantitative and qualitative data showed that the experimental group reported significantly more positive perceptions of integrated STEM, with strengthened knowledge, interest, and career orientation towards related fields. The findings of this study provide suggestions for STEM curriculum development.

“…The low-level nature of those devices makes it possible to easily expand their capabilities by various available input/output modules. Using Arduino in the learning process on how to design one's own system is an approach whose aim is to improve programming skills among novice students [23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…Theoretical knowledge gained by students can be implemented in real-life applications [25], for example for building LEGO robots [12,30] and thus the learned concepts can be practiced and motivation level increased, which is key in learning programming by engineering students [31] and can be achieved through games and entertainment [10,28,32].…”

This paper presents a new approach to teaching programming to undergraduate computer science students. A dedicated Arduino board along with custom application programming interface (API) was introduced into programming classes with a view to strengthen students’ engagement and improving the attractiveness of the course. The students were presented with basic functionalities of the board, which gave them a possibility to accomplish their own projects—typically video games—without any background in electronics. The level of engagement of the participants was observed by the tutors during classes and also reviewed based on questionnaires filled by 347 first‐, second‐, and third‐year undergraduates. The results indicated that the proposed approach was well received by nearly 80%, while nearly 75% of the participants expressed a wish to continue their Computer Science education using Arduino.

“…Also [6] shows that team work and solving well-de ined robotics problems can result in the evolution of engineering skills. Several researches were made on developing low-cost, printable educational robots [2] [14] [11]. An interesting usage of such robots is presented in [8], in which low-cost wheeled mobile robots together with a simulator builds a multi-robot formation control platform.…”
