    Maker Cards: Evaluating design cards for teaching physical computing to middle-school girls
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Tagungsband, 2019) Root, Erika; Heuten, Wilko; Boll, Susanne
    The maker movement holds strong promise for enabling children to participate in empowering learning experiences through technology. Many researchers have identified different approaches to address making for children and educational approaches on teaching beginners to program. However, these educational approaches require strong supervision, or step-by-step instruction on how to program certain tasks, which limit children in their creative expressiveness. Therefore, we designed Maker Cards as a card-based teaching approach using the new physical computation device Calliope to give the children instructions for the hardware and software, that help them make their own meaningful artifacts. We evaluated Maker Cards with 54 girls (aged 10 - 14) in several workshops. Our evaluation shows that Maker Cards were valuable for the participants in getting started to implement their own ideas because they were able to find the sensors, connect the external sensors and actuators as well as use the program examples as reference. Furthermore, the Maker Cards cover common questions, allowing them to work independently.

    Promoting Competencies of the Future – The Role of University-integrated Makerspaces
    (DELFI 2019, 2019) Brandenburger, Bonny
    An increasing interaction between man and machine in all areas of society leads not only to new job profiles but also initiates a discussion about the needed digital competencies in the future. The European Commission's Joint Research Centre has developed in a multi-stakeholder approach an initial framework to describe and measure the needed competencies such as problem solving ability, capacity of teamwork and programming skills (Carretero et al. 2017). It is expected that the transfer of technical, occupation-oriented and personality-building competencies alongside subject-related knowledge will become increasingly important in higher education (Association of Sponsors of German Science 2016, pp. 26-27). In order to avoid inequalities among students -those with and without so-called digital competencies - new learning approaches are needed. One possible approach towards the enhancement of digital competencies can be found within the maker movement.
