Exploring Traditional And Workbench-Style Kits To Support Project- And Problem-Based Learning

As project- and problem-based physical prototyping activities become more common in computing and engineering classrooms, it is important to design kits to support desired learning outcomes. The work explored in this paper looks at the effects of organizing physical prototyping materials in individualized (traditional) kits and community (workbench) kits. The findings suggest a correlation in promoting project- or problem-based approaches with organizing materials as traditional or workbench kits.
