Abstract

This presentation aims to present a preliminary research about 10th and 11th grade students' views on Arduino technologies, being educated in them and the weighting of such views with variables such as gender, familiarity and recognition of the importance of these technologies in real life etc. The results showed that students' views on Arduino technologies are related (positively or negatively) to familiarity, willingness to engage, prospect and concerns in engagement and willingness to familiarize with these technologies, while it was found that such views do not differ according to gender.
