STEM Experiences in Primary and Lower Secondary Schools

Abstract

This contribution informs about the importance of STEM education and our experiences at Matej Bel University and Ján Bakoss primary and lower secondary school. We chose Computer Science as an appropriate subject where STEM education can be suitably added. Tangible technological devices such as Parrot Jumping Sumo drone or Airblock drone were used among students aged 8 - 12. We were observing two focus groups and their motivation between highly motivated students in Computer Science and “ordinary” students.
