Primary Level Young Makers Programming & Making Electronics with Snap4Arduino

The main goal of this study is to show that young makers (8–12 years old) are able to start programming & making electronics with Snap4Arduino, and that this is a way to have (already trained) Makers for secondary level education. We have performed a feasibility study of the Snap4Arduino as an educational tool for elementary school students. The study has been conducted as part of a certified course carried out by the Pamplona’s Planetarium where different skills such as learning to learn or sense of initiative and entrepreneurship were evaluated through a PrBL project based learning methodology. Cooperative learning was achieved focusing on teamwork attitude and behavior.
