Abstract:
By introducing the MaST_Invent KIT in schools it is our intention to offer to children, pupils, students, as many chances as possible to imagine, project, build, evaluate and improve. With other words, we want to practice and construct the ability to innovate in school, until it becomes permanent. In a very compact format (205mm x 140mm x 45mm, 480g) and with a low price (less than 20€), the electronic kit allows the realization of a practically unlimited number of electronic circuits, including all the circuits that can be discussed during the Physics lessons in gymnasium or high school classes. Unlike the classical electric and electronic kits, this one uses the standard electric components offered by the producers. The kit is made to allow a full liberty to interconnect the components, according to each one's imagination and survey, giving the opportunity to have a field for invention and innovation. The kit is mainly composed by a breadboard, more than one hundred electronic components, the development plaque Arduino, batteries and connectors, connection cables, tools and the use guide. The kit is the result of the project "MaST Networking, quality in the development of the key skills in Mathematics, Science and Technologies", ID: POSDRU/85/1.1/S/58914.
