Arduino® Education Student Kit

The kit can also be integrated into different subjects such as physics, chemistry and even history. There is even enough content for a whole semester.

The online platform includes all the content you need to teach: exclusive learning support content, distance learning tips, nine 90-minute lessons and two open-ended projects. Each lesson builds on the previous one and provides an additional opportunity to apply the skills and concepts students have already learned. They are also given a log to fill out as they work through the lessons.

Overview of lessons

Getting Started ( 30 minuten). This lesson introduces students to the kit's materials. Learn about electrical safety, how to set up the software and create their first program.

Lesson 1 - The basic concepts of electricity (90 min). In this lesson, students explore some basic concepts of electricity and build their first simple circuit while learning about the components that make up the circuit.

Lesson 2 - Ohm's law ( 90 min). Students investigate one of the laws of physics that governs how electricity behaves in a circuit: Ohm's law. They learn by building, the difference between parallel and series circuits and investigate how electricity behaves using a multimeter.

Lesson 3 - Traffic lights (90 min). In this lesson, students are introduced to the Arduino Software (IDE) and program their first light circuit that controls how the circuit works.

Lesson 4 - Dimmer Switch (90 min). Students will learn about the potentiometer and how it can be used to control a circuit. As a result, they will build an LED circuit where the Arduino board controls the brightness of the LEDs based on the position of the potentiometer. As students code their circuit, they will be introduced to concepts such as variables, conditional statements and serial communication.

Lesson 5 - Holiday lights project ( 90 min). Students will complete an open-ended project to design, build and program their own vacation light circuit. The project must follow the objectives, criteria and constraints of the project.

Lesson 6 - Sport Robot (90 min). In this lesson, students will learn how to use a servo motor to create a simple sports robot. They will program the robot to hit, kick or throw a ball.

Lesson 7 - Windscreen wipers (90 min). This lesson introduces new programming concepts to students, such as nested conditions, switching structures and loops. Students learn the new concepts by programming and building a wiper circuit.

Lesson 8 - Music Keyboard ( 90 min). In this lesson, students will learn about piezometers and how they can produce different sounds, tones and music. With this knowledge, students can build and code a musical keyboard.

Lesson 9 - Light wave radar (90 mins). Students will use their Arduino board and a phototransistor to measure the intensity of light and learn the basic principle of how information is transmitted by light waves.

Lesson 10 - Greenhouse control system (180 min). Students will complete an open-ended project to design, build and program a climate control system for a greenhouse. The project must follow the objectives, criteria and constraints of the project.
