The results indicate that there is a significant improvement regarding the feeling of being able to design maker-based educational lessons after participating in any of the professional development courses. Concretely, individual and practical activities requiring the development of a maker project are the ones that help the most to improve teachers’ self-perception regarding the maker and STEM education in primary education levels.application/pdfeng© 2021 IEEE.
