By providing the developer support to produce these digitalartifacts, we empower teacher participants to embed CS content into potentially challengingclassroom contexts that are resistant to drop-in, ”one-size-fits-all” integration solutions. Usingthis approach, teachers can create more thoughtful and robust CS curriculum modules that bettercomplement their particular needs.This initiative promotes

Bothteachers and students pointed out issues with coding and circuit design. Although the teacherssuccessfully managed to resolve these problems, minimizing obstacles, optimizing circuits, andreducing time wasted will be essential for smooth implementation and clear learning objectives.These efforts could also contribute to lowering the kit’s production costs. Additionally, challenges related to curriculum integration were evident. Prerequisiteknowledge was an issue, as students individually varied in their physical computing skills andfamiliarity

These methods have shown more promising student engagement and learningoutcomes [8].Despite these advances in pedagogical approaches, challenges remain in effectively reaching and engagingmore diverse student populations. A critical aspect often overlooked in these efforts is the integration ofstudents' cultural resources in their classroom teaching. The influence of culture on an individual’sengagement with new ideas is substantial, as it shapes both their exposure to and preparation for newinformation [9].

Another barrier lies in the practicaldemands of implementation.
