• Perfect for remote teaching, homeschooling, and self-learning.

How can the kit be used?

The kit is designed for anyone interested in learning the basics of Arduino electronics and programming. It includes detailed step-by-step instructions in the online content, making it ideal for:

• Self-learning.
• Homeschooling.
• Remote teaching.

Recommended Age and Grade Level

• Recommended age: 11 to 14.
• Grade level: The materials align with the US Common Core curriculum for STEM subjects (math & physics) and the CSTA curriculum for computer science, making it suitable for middle school classes.

System Requirements

• Operating systems: Windows 7 or higher, Chromebook, Linux, and Mac OS (including Catalina).
• Minimum requirements:
  • USB port.
  • Arduino IDE installed. Ensure you have the latest version from here.

Accessing the Online Content

Each kit includes a unique activation code located on the inner lid of the packaging. To access the online content:

1. Go to studentkit.arduino.cc.
2. Enter your activation code.
3. Select your role (educator or student).
4. Create an account.

Once registered, log in to studentkit.arduino.cc to access the content.

Platform Access

• Each kit allows one user (educator or student) to access the online platform.
• During activation, you will choose whether to use the kit for teaching or learning, which determines the type of content you see.

Open-Ended Projects vs. Exercises

• Exercises: Focused on ensuring concepts are understood through hands-on learning.
• Open-ended projects: Encourage creativity and application of learned concepts.

Arduino Education Starter Kit vs. Arduino Student Kit

Key differences:

• Education Starter Kit:
  • Designed for classrooms; supports up to eight students.
  • Includes two logbooks (educator and student versions).
  • Features classroom management tools.
• Arduino Student Kit:
  • Designed for individual use at home or for self-learners.
  • Includes one logbook with both exercises and solutions.
  • Ideal for remote learning with support for educators and parents.
