“…Fernandez et al 2015 used led RGB, Arduino and Raspberry PI for teaching Internet of Things to children from 10 to 12 years [10]. More recently, He et al [11] developed a learning dispositive for undergraduate students composed of Raspberry Pi Arduino and a set of sensors supporting Zigbee. We also previously proposed a learning and practice dispositive for smart home [7].…”

Internet of Things is becoming widely present in our daily life. In fact, more and more devices able to interact together have been recently designed and launched in the market. Learning Internet of Things technologies is becoming unavoidable in education. In this paper, we propose a practical approach allowing to progressively learn, by practice the essential concepts of Internet of Things applied to Smart Cities. From basic knowledge of python language and the use of microcontrollers Pycom such as LoPy, students can develop skills and also smart applications in the field of Internet of Things.

“…Research efforts more closely related with our work include [4] where, a case study is considered over four groups of secondary school students acting as virtual IoT application designers, and [5] which incorporates an IoT-based learning framework into a software engineering embedded system analysis and design course. In a similar to [5] context, Byrne et al [6] explore the use of a constructivist 21 st century learning model by implementing a week-long workshop, delivered as a "hackathon" to encourage pre-university teenagers to pursue STEM oriented careers, with a particular emphasis on computer science. They examined student perceptions and attitudes regarding computer science and found out that their motivation with respect to the design process, programming and IoT/wearable technologies was enhanced.…”

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.

“…[21]. Rüütmann et al suggest "just-in-time" teaching to encourage students to predict, apply, create, analyze, compare, evaluate, criticise, implement, and gain professional perfection [22], and He et al adds that the new paradigm of learning in STEM is learning by doing [23,24].…”

The rapidly developing technological landscape challenges require educational institutions to constantly renew the school's digital infrastructure in order to keep students engaged in learning difficult subjects such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of such new technology platforms that could help the schools enhance learning processes with innovative resources, and to increase students' motivation to learn. This paper summarizes the first stage of a design-based research focusing on introducing IoT technologies to secondary education. Five kits of IoT devices were co-designed by researchers, teachers, and students, to optimize their match with the curricular objectives, cost, learning curve, and re-usability in various educational contexts. The study included three steps: (1) mapping out the IoT devices on the basis of the desk research, (2) literature review on STEM education practices, and (3) two focus group interviews with teachers and students from different schools. As a result of the study, five different kits of IoT devices were purchased for schools and pilot-tested in real-life settings.
