This article discusses the prerequisites for using the Arduino Uno brand of hardware and software, which are necessary when creating simple automation and robotics systems for non-professional users in teaching the basics of microcontroller robotics. The article discusses the capabilities of the Arduino hardware computing platform as applied to mechatronic complexes. A functional description and technical specifications are given using the Arduino UNO board as an example. A comparative analysis of the hardware of the most relevant boards has been compiled. The prospects for the use of the Arduino microprocessor platform for training and design in the field of physical process control are determined. The article compares various microcontrollers Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Lego Mindstroms. based on the analysis, it is concluded that Lego Mindstroms microcontrollers are the most convenient for teaching younger students, and for teaching middle and high school students - Arduino microcontrollers. Mindstorms microcontrollers are sold complete with instructions, peripherals, parts, and sensors. Their body protects against damage, and familiar to many children LEGO allows you to create various mechanisms and robots using a visual programming language. This set is easily mastered by primary and secondary school students. High school students can develop programming skills in the integrated Arduino environment.

AbstractIn contrast to the traditional mentor-apprentice relationship inherent in most high school science research projects, a team of high school students designed and executed their own research study that focused on engineering a low-cost (<$1,000) camera and light apparatus to perform underwater time-lapse photography. With the advice of mentors from the University of Hawaii, the STEM community, and 'Iolani School, the team used their apparatus to study biota living underwater in caves near Makai Research Pier offshore of East Oahu, Hawaii. The photographic system consisted of a Raspberry Pi microcomputer and camera board synchronized with a homemade LED lighting system housed in aluminum or PVC piping with acrylic windows. Several deployments in shallow water (<5 m) yielded images of Hawaiian Whitetip Reef shark (Triaenodon obesus), Hawaiian Green Sea turtles (Chelonia mydas), and other marine animals in their natural reef habitat. The project demonstrates that, in less than a year, high school students can overcome the challenges of building an inexpensive, underwater time-lapse camera system to study the behavior of marine biota. This article describes the team's engineering project, scientific research, lessons learned, and outreach efforts in the hope that other educational, scientific, and governmental institutions will be encouraged to offer similar, enriching opportunities to nurture high school students to conduct STEM studies that advance ongoing, related research.

This article investigates the use of Raspberry Pi and Scratch to introduce novice high school students to computer programming during a short interaction. Results show that, with only a four-hour engagement, students show a significant increase in programming self-efficacy. Furthermore, results show that this increase is the same for both males and females. This provides promising results for those who wish to effectively introduce programming to novices, even over a short engagement period.

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.

Abstract. This study investigated the effects of politicians’ nonparticipatory and participatory Facebook posts on young people’s political efficacy – a key determinant of political participation. We employed an experimental design, using a sample of N = 125 high school students (15–20 years). Participants either saw a Facebook profile with no posts (control condition), nonparticipatory posts, or participatory posts. While nonparticipatory posts did not affect participants’ political efficacy, participatory posts exerted distinct effects. For those high in trait evaluations of the politician presented in the stimulus material or low in political cynicism, we found significant positive effects on external and collective efficacy. By contrast, for those low in trait evaluations or high in cynicism, we found significant negative effects on external and collective efficacy. We did not find any effects on internal efficacy. The importance of content-specific factors and individual predispositions in assessing the influence of social media use on participation is discussed.
