Από το Παραδοσιακό Εργαστήριο στους Μικροελεγκτές: Καινοτόμες Προσεγγίσεις για Μετρήσεις Θερμοκρασίας

Abstract

The present work is about a series of interactive workshops designed for middle school students and implemented at a STEM center. The focus was on temperature measurement, starting with traditional methods using alcohol thermometer, to measurements with a microcontroller, and in the building of a smart cooling system. Students successfully met the workshops' objectives, demonstrating an improved understanding of the concept of temperature. By the end of the program, all participants were able to process the collected data and draw conclusions. Initial hesitation observed among students when working with complex electronics was overcome through teachers’ intervention.
