Abstract

During physical computing events, we have offered to school-students, we have observed different problems students struggle with while working with sensors and actuators of physical computing devices. Whereas some problems have been caused by simple programming errors, some of them were not explainable just by the code. In those cases, programs worked correctly in simulations but not on the real device. In this paper looked at different error origins in context of working with physical computing devices. For further analysis, proposed a model of different stadiums, data passes while a task or problem is solved with a physical computing application. Using this model, located observed issues in order to identify wrong assumptions, made by students.
