Six educators from diverse school types engaged in an experience built on two pillars: Arduino-based physical computing and maker education practices, including maker mindsets, lesson planning, assessment tools, and adolescent learning needs. Grounded in regional classroom realities, the session highlights the technical, instructional, and pedagogical scaffolding used to support educators across subjects. Through brief case studies, we show how educators applied maker education across subjects. A math teacher designed a hands-on lesson to explore the concept of area using cardboard and basic electronics, while a science teacher created an activity visualizing particle motion with temperature, demonstrating how abstract concepts can become meaningful, student-centered learning experiences.
