The Arduino sensor-controlled elevator project effectively enhanced student learning by fostering a deep understanding of core concepts and developing valuable 21st-century skills grounded on the constructivism approach to learning and collaborative learning. Students applied prior knowledge in electronics, programming, and mechanics while simultaneously developing new skills in systems thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. This project provided a real-world context for learning, allowing students to experience the iterative nature of the engineering design process and develop computational thinking skills. Collaboration with peers helps students enhance their social skills and develop attitudes to work in teams to achieve common goals and produce learning outputs.
By overcoming challenges and successfully building the Arduino elevator controlled by sensors, students gained confidence in their abilities to tackle complex problems and apply their knowledge to solve real-world tasks and challenges. Student's immersion in a hands-on experience not only deepened their understanding of electronics and programming but also equipped them with valuable skills that will be beneficial in their future academic and professional endeavors.
