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.
Overview
Advanced high level and college students can now easily and quickly build their own Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled connected gadgets. With the aid of ten sustainability projects, simple getting started activities, and technical and theoretical courses, they will learn how to construct Internet-connected items. Each of these assignments gives students the chance to investigate and find a solution to a problem connected to one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. Design thinking techniques are taught to students, who then use them to create their own original solutions to problems including urban farming, health monitoring, and waste and water 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. For additional information and FAQ visit Arduino.cc.
Learning Outcomes
Using real-world sensors to collect useful data from the environment and modify it by remotely controlling actuators like LEDs, buzzers, and displays through the Cloud, we have identified key concepts this kit should cover for students to learn how devices communicate and the tools used to facilitate communication, data management, analysis, and computational thinking.
How do I access the basic content?
Go to the Arduino Cloud website and sign in to your Arduino account. If you have the free plan, you’ll be able to see the basic content in the Courses section on the menu on the left. To access the full content, you’ll need to purchase the School plan.
Additional Information
