Building a CPR Dummy With Arduino

Purpose & objective

This project expects that teachers can implement active methodologies for learning through the creation of creative and innovative products that serve to solve real problems of society, enhancing in students the interest in science and technology, in addition will allow through their critical thinking to determine the existing needs and propose solutions. The students also develop their logical thinking by programming with arduino that allow them to obtain the tools to obtain excellent results. They used design thinking methodology, STEAM skills together with their creativity to develop an innovative artifact using Arduino, they also investigated what types of low-cost materials could be used to create it, which allowed it to be easily accessible, in addition to solving a real problem in society, To achieve this they relied on their teachers and health professionals (pulmonologist, otolaryngologist, emergency medical technician, and respiratory therapist) to inform them based on their experience what was necessary to have a mannequin that could be really useful, also the students realized that to learn the CPR technique was necessary to create an artifact that would help them to simulate the maneuver so through several prototypes they came to design their own version of the CPR dummy. They also programmed the Arduino card and sensors that allow them to reach the optimal levels of air pressure and chest compression for the maneuver to be effective.

Objectives:
1. The audience will learn about a successful way to implement active methodologies for learning through the creation of creative and innovative products.
2. The audience will learn about a way to awaken students' interest in science through the resolution of real problems.
3. Share with the audience how students develop logical thinking through programming in C++ and Arduino.
4. The audience will know the stages, techniques, materials that the students followed in the class to develop this project.
