Maker' within Constraints: Exploratory Study of Young Learners using Arduino at a High School in ...
summary
Twelve students (ages 13–15) at a low‑fee high school in Bangalore run a nine‑hour maker workshop over three days and build four projects: an LED calculator, sound‑and‑light, a servo‑controlled LED, and an exploratory “add‑everything” prototype; one group later shows a “hello world” LED project at the school fair. The site has limited electricity, no internet, and only four working lab PCs; students face monetary and psychological costs (one burnt a temperature sensor) and cope with documentation, fallback circuits, peer help and remixing Arduino IDE code.
