Proposal for the Possibility of Teaching Programming in the Subject of Computer Science using Autodesk Tinkercad

Abstract

In today's world, we are witnessing a rapid boom in the implementation of various elements of robotics, intelligent, learning and other systems in our daily lives. The emphasis is on a multidisciplinary approach. These systems build on both hardware and software. Therefore, the question of programming is topical and we meet processors at every step. Our goal is to show within a few lessons the possibility of learning the principles of processor programming in a simple way, without the need for deeper knowledge of electronics or hardware. The use of the Arduino platform appears to be advantageous in this regard. It provides enough power and flexibility for educational purposes, while the Arduino IDE development environment is simple enough. Due to its diversity in terms of robustness and performance, Arduino is also widely used in practice, usually as an extension of existing systems. As an example, we can mention e.g. unmanned UAVs, camera or security systems, control and signaling systems, etc. Therefore, we see the sense of dealing with Arduino in education as well.
