Description
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.
