Project #131: STEM: Computing and Electronics Education for High School Classrooms

Back

Description:

STEM is a hot topic among parents and communities where there is a lot of focus on promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEAM) among the future generation. The predecessor of this project has developed a series of activities, which target high school students. These activities are based around computer hardware, allowing students to investigate the backend of computing devices and hardware programming. In this year's project we aim to investigate the effectiveness of these activities by taking them to high schools and collect data. Ethics approval has been granted for this project already.
