Using the Arduino embedded system in secondary vocational education in Slovakia is still a fresh phenomenon. Study plans of vocational schools with profession in technics, information technologies and industrial automation are being outdated and do not contain modern solutions in their educational process. Our research was about to find out the actual state of awareness about these modern systems among teachers and educators in vocational schools in Slovakia. A questionnaire was created and sent to secondary vocational schools with a profession aiming at technological industry which showed us the real actual status of the usage of modern technologies and embedded systems in education.
