Project: Teacher4.0 - comprehensive method of implementation of Industry 4.0
concept into didactic practice in primary and secondary schools

What programmable electronics can we use?

Another work alternative is the collaborative electronics that can be programmed. Within this work
proposal we found two programmable boards with a reduced price:

The microbit board is a board that allows you to explore basic programming language by blocks,
using the makcode platform. It allows to explore light and sound effects.

Price approx. 25 € (2021) - (https://makecode.microbit.org/ )

Arduino: is a brand that offers a set of programmable boards (figure 8) low cost. Depending on the
goal we want we find several solutions. From single boards that can cost 25 euros, to modules and
electronics kits that can cost 60 or more euros. To program the arduino in this teacher 4.0 project we
use the software provided by the mblock platform (https://www.mblock.cc/en-
