Advanced high school and college students can now create their own connected devices ‐ known as the Internet of Things ‐ quickly and easily
They’;ll learn how to build Internet‐connected objects with easy‐access getting started activities and 10 sustainability projects, supported by technical and theoretical lessons
Each of these projects allows students to investigate and solve a real‐world challenge linked to one of the UN’;s Sustainable Development Goals
Students learn design thinking methods that help them develop their own unique solutions to challenges such as urban farming, health monitoring, and water and waste conservation
Empower your students with future technologies, design methodologies, and an in‐depth understanding of real‐world issues to build a sustainable future with the Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2
The Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2 has been created to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Internet of Things, as well as to encourage students to think about solving global sustainability challenges, according to the UN’;s Sustainable Development Goals
After looking into current academic and industrial standards, we have identified important concepts this kit should touch upon for students to learn how devices communicate and the tools used to facilitate communication, data management, analysis, and computational thinking
by using real‐world sensors to capture meaningful data from the environment and modify it by remotely controlling actuators such as LEDs, buzzers, displays, through the Cloud
What's in the boxTwo 24V relays
SD card holder
Five Tactile buttons
Plug and play Grove connectors for different external sensors
Plastic enclosure to attach and protect the hardware
Access to the demo version of Arduino Cloud for Education, which includes a complete IoT getting started experience and three introductory activities and lessons
For a more comprehensive educational journey into the Internet of Things, access to 10 more step‐by‐step, hands‐on projects, each linked to the UN’;s Sustainable Development Goals and covering the fundamentals of IoT, and to connect with Google Classroom, educators can subscribe to
the Arduino Cloud for Education School Plan
Each of the 10 projects takes between 15‐25 hours to complete, and can be completed over the course of a couple of weeks or a whole term or year
Each project contains five modules which can be completed in an order that makes sense for your classroom
To complete a project, students ideally need good programming skills and to have worked with sensor technologies
However, if your students are at more of a basic level, the kit also includes additional technical activities and lessons for beginners
