Application of Microcontrollers for Fostering Computational Thinking by Using the Calliope System in School

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, we deliver insights into our work with the Calliope system. We underline the usefulness of the Calliope system and its positive characteristics relating to an evaluation we did with 50 pupils in German schools. Additionally we report about the learning scenarios we conducted and illustrated how the learning of the IFTTT conditions and according to that Computational Thinking skills can be taught during school lessons by using computational devices like the Calliope mini.
