STEM TECHNOLOGIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC PROJECTS

The article describes the importance and how STEM education differs from traditional scientific education, and also provides information about where and how students can apply the scientific method. The possibilities of the STEM project related to training in the field of electronics and device management using Arduino controllers are considered. The possibilities and structure of the Autodesk TinkerCad virtual environment for implementing STEM project methods are given, as well as an example of programming, modeling and assembling electronic devices using the TinkerCad virtual environment and communication with the Arduino UNO controller. For teachers, the advantages of learning using STEM technology are outlined, as well as a number of trends identified as a result of observations and experiments conducted with students in the implementation of educational STEM projects in the field of electronics and control of technical systems on the Arduino platform are demonstrated.

Thanks to the preliminary assembly with the help of the TinkerCad site, will allow the student to first assemble the model and test it for functionality. After verification, the learner can begin to assemble the circuit on real radio elements. Using the capabilities of the site, the requirements of STEM technology are covered and there is an opportunity to implement selflearning and search for errors.
