The term Computational Thinking (CT) is commonly acceptable as a 21st century skill in reading, writing, and arithmetic, causing many states to adopt new policies as far as the curriculum, didactic material, teaching and learning methods, as well as assessment methods. In this frame, we have developed a series of Arduino lessons for teachers’ training, including physics computing and computational thinking development. For the training material quality improvement, we have developed a set of assessment criteria (Rubric) that will be used during the teacher’s training course resulting in the formative assessment. The aim of this work is to analyze and justify the rubric’s format and priorities, as well as to inform the teachers’ trainers about the course assessing priorities.

STREAM role models 4 ALL project serves as a comprehensive guide for educators aiming to integrate STEM education into their classrooms. Emphasizing the incorporation of art into STEM education, the project advocates for a STEAM approach that fosters students’ exploration, discovery, and engagement in innovative engineering skills. It underscores the benefits of employing pedagogical methods such as inquiry-based learning and problem-based learning to cultivate active learning, deeper knowledge, and critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the project underscores the significance of computational thinking in shaping problems and expressing solutions in a manner conducive to efficient computer execution. Addressing the challenges encountered by schools when implementing STEM approaches, including the necessity for teacher training, access to resources, and the creation of a supportive classroom climate, the project offers valuable insights. Overall, STREAM role models 4 ALL project provides a valuable resource for educators seeking to promote STEM education and equip students with the skills to address global challenges through exploration, discovery, and creative problem-solving.
