M.2 Computer Arduino /C++ Projects by Milanie S. de Ocampo, LPT M. 2 Computer Teacher

The educational initiative, "Engaging Grade 8 Students in Arduino DIY Project: Building a Car Robot," is designed to immerse students in a captivating and educational experience centered around robotics and programming. By introducing Arduino DIY projects, the goal is to spark a genuine interest in these fields among eighth-grade students. The hands-on creation of a car robot using Arduino technology serves as a dynamic platform to acquaint students with the fundamentals of electronics and coding. Beyond technical skills, the project places a strong emphasis on nurturing essential life skills such as teamwork and problem-solving. The primary objective is to empower students to independently design, build, and program a small car robot, fostering a solid understanding of electronics, programming logic, and robotics. This initiative seeks to lay the foundation for a lasting passion in STEM fields. The project unfolds through various phases, starting with an introduction to Arduino and basic electronics, guiding students through the assembly process, and culminating in a project presentation where students showcase their unique creations.

The tangible outcomes of this initiative, from enhanced problem-solving skills to the cultivation of a STEM interest, contribute to boosting students' confidence and providing a sense of accomplishment. In essence, the active engagement of students in this hands-on Arduino DIY project aims to plant seeds of curiosity and innovation, laying the groundwork for future STEM enthusiasts.

This approach aligns with the comprehensive educational strategy outlined in "DIY Car Robot Projects" which draws inspiration from constructivism, experiential learning, social learning theory, connectivism, andragogy, cognitivism, inquiry-based learning, and Bloom's Taxonomy. This multifaceted pedagogical strategy ensures a transformative learning experience, guiding students toward a deeper understanding of STEM concepts and inspiring a passion for continued exploration and innovation.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Teacher Kamon for serving as the main adviser throughout this computer project. Their expertise, support, and guidance have been invaluable in shaping and refining our work. Teacher Kamon's dedication to fostering a deep understanding of computer science concepts and providing insightful feedback has greatly contributed to the success of this endeavor. Their commitment to excellence has been a source of inspiration, and I am truly thankful for the opportunity to learn under their mentorship
