In this paper we report the work that jeKnowledge (Junior Empresa da Faculdade de Ciencias e Tecnologias da Universidade de Coimbra), a student-led initiative, has done in the 'jeKnowledge academy' Summer School to actively engage Portuguese high-school students in STEM education through hands-on projects based on the low-cost Arduino platform. F2F activities are complemented with tutorials and more advanced project suggestions in a blog. The course resulted in high degrees of satisfaction for both the students in the teaching role and the younger students and even influenced the Physics Department where it took place, which included Arduino workshops in the first-year syllabus of the Physics Engineering course.
