Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2 - AKX00044

Create, collaborate, impact: Teach students how to use IoT technologies and design thinking to solve real-world challenges.

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
• 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.

Learning Outcomes
