Microcontrollers allow students to create interactive projects that connect the physical and digital worlds. They can be used to make projects more exciting and bring math concepts to life. Popular microcontrollers for education include Arduino, Microbit, and Raspberry Pi. The Arduino board can be programmed to receive input from sensors and control outputs like motors and lights. The IDE software is used to write programs and send them to the microcontroller board. Microcontrollers enable projects using components like motors, lights, sensors and more. Many math concepts can be taught using microcontroller projects involving computing, engineering, and design skills.
