With the swift development of technology in recent years, entrepreneurs are facing rapid changes in industry. To cope with such changes at home and abroad, The Ministry of Education is actively promoting innovative education with the aim of cultivating students' entrepreneurship. On this basis, this study proposes an innovative curriculum design based on an Internet-of-Things (IoT) programming course. The reason is that it develops computational thinking skills while students are learning programming and also cultivates logical thinking skills and problem-solving skills, which are critical to entrepreneurship. We also design a number of learning activities that enable students to express their opinions and ideas while gaining more knowledge through peer interaction and discussion. Overall, this study explores the impact of "maker education" on students' attitudes toward computer thinking. The results indicate that maker education has a positive impact on their ability to learn computer skills. In terms of learning motivation, students are not motivated by maker education and reduce their confidence on the curriculum. The reason may be that the curriculum requires the acquisition of software and hardware skills, which will increase the student's learning burden, so they more likely to encounter learning disabilities.
近年来，随着技术的迅速发展，企业家们面临着行业的快速变化。为了应对国内外的此类变化，教育部正在积极推进创新教育，旨在培养学生的创业能力。在此基础上，本研究提出了一种基于物联网（IoT）编程课程的创新课程设计。原因在于，它在学生学习编程的同时培养计算思维能力，还能培养逻辑思维能力和解决问题的能力，而这些能力对创业至关重要。我们还设计了一些学习活动，使学生能够在通过同伴互动和讨论获得更多知识的同时表达自己的观点和想法。总体而言，本研究探讨了“创客教育”对学生计算机思维态度的影响。结果表明，创客教育对他们学习计算机技能的能力有积极影响。在学习动机方面，学生并未因创客教育而受到激励，并且对课程的信心有所降低。原因可能是该课程要求掌握软件和硬件技能，这会增加学生的学习负担，因此他们更有可能遇到学习障碍。
