Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2 - educational kit - Arduino AKX00044

The Explore IoT Kit from Arduino is aneducationalkit that has been developed for effective learning by doing. It allows to learn basic concepts related toIoT: automation, data collection and analysis, use of the cloud and remote control. The kit includes 10 practice lessons (available online) that gradually introduce new elements and programming concepts. Dedicated to people over 16 years old. One set can be used by two people simultaneously.

One of the lessons is dedicated to the design of your own greenhouse.

The internet platformguarantees access toexciting educational projects. Prepared tasks effectively familiarize with the basic concepts ofIoTand mobilize tocreate your own applicationsin the real world. The content of the teaching is in accordance withthe IT standards(CSTA) and all teaching materials include theoretical basics, building instructions, detailed editing animations and activation code.

Each set contains aunique activation code. It must be activated before the start of projects. Register the set onthe siteand enter the activation code. When you create an account and log in to the platform you will get access toall online content.

• Start- introduction to the world IoT
• Introduction- getting familiar with the elements of the set
• Data charts in the cloud- learning how to present and analyse collected data
• Data storage- using a microSD memory card to back up data
• Remote sensors- working with remote sensors
• Security alert- creating a security alert for the house, which sends a message to the householder and warns them with a red light when motion is detected
• Tracker in the classroom- remote recording project of the number of people passing through the door
• Cloud vs Carrier gamefor two players
• Municipal farm 101- construction of a smart greenhouse
• Greenhouse web server- creating a web interface for a greenhouse performed in a previous lesson
• Weather Station- learning how to use APIs

The kit includes a PIR motion detector.

The Explore IoT Kit comes with afree trial version ofArduino Create Maker Plan with access for12 months. The subscription offersunlimited compilationandextended accessto some of the Arduino IoT Cloud functions that will enable teachers to conduct classes efficiently. After 12 months it is recommended to renew your license through theArduino Create website. Otherwise user will have access only to Arduino Create Free Plan version, which reduces access to compilation and Arduino IoT Cloud functions and allows to perform only some of the set tasks.
