The paper presents the making of such a probe for a sorting algorithm. The making of the probe was alternated with its evaluation, and realized in the MakerSpace of the University of Bozen-Bolzano through a collaborative interdisciplinary effort of computer-science students and researchers from different research areas.enText/Conference Paper10.1007/978-3-319-33464-6_19
