I do think in the future, team design is agood idea.” Or “Groups of peopled helped but caused many disagreements which slowed downprogress. Although the thought of putting people together was a good one.” The extended historyof the studio as a collaborative one aids in the development of teamwork because it generallyexcludes students who are determined to undermine the concept.ConclusionThe metaphor, changing the culture of the curriculum, may seem slightly pedantic; however,methods of teaching have been passed from generation to generation in the most

[1] Exposing students to an assortment of technologies is also desirable, to give themas broad an experience as is reasonable. Thus, setups containing different sensors, effectors andactuators and indicators are needed. Quite often, the cost of such laboratory setups (or trainers) ishigh, thereby challenging the desire to have numerous full setups.To broaden the students’ programming capabilities, many programs teach such courses acrossboth microcontroller and

For instance, 60 percent of the participating teachers indicated that they felt the levelof technical support was sufficient, meaning assistance with integration of the ‘COSMOSEducational Toolkit’ to the curriculum being developed. This was an important metric to capture,as the objective was centered on learning about different technical components of the toolkit andhow to leverage the kit for curricular content.
