Abstract: That is the continuation of the experimentation developed in a First Level Secondary School (grades 6 to 8) on how to start using ARDUINO. The first experimentation was presented at DIDAMATICA 20161 . This year, projects have been doubled and reiterated, better focusing on learning processes. After noticing the presence of “misconceptions”, a strategy has been elaborated, in order to go beyond them and reach a “conceptual change” able to help a more informed planning through ARDUINO.

Key words: misconceptions, conceptual change, ARDUINO
