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

Overview

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, and 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

The Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2 has been created to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Internet of Things, as well as to encourage students to think about solving global sustainability challenges, according to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. 

After looking into current academic and industrial standards, we have identified important concepts this kit should touch upon for students to learn how devices communicate and the tools used to facilitate communication, data management, analysis, and computational thinking  by using real-world sensors to capture meaningful data from the environment and modify it by remotely controlling actuators such as LEDs, buzzers, displays, through the Cloud.

PROJECT HUB
Arduino Bluetooth Tank
Arduino Bluetooth Tank
Project Tutorial by mastoras_inc

I'm excited to share the details of my BT Arduino Tank project, which incorporates some impressive 3D-printed components. While the main chassis of the tank was not 3D-printed, I utilized this technology to create two crucial parts: the enclosure for the motor driver and the compartment housing the remaining electronics. Additionally, I 3D-printed a cannon for an added touch of customization. The enclosure for the motor driver served as a protective housing, ensuring that the L298N motor driver module was securely mounted and shielded from external elements. By designing and 3D-printing this part, I could precisely fit it to the tank's specifications, providing a neat and organized arrangement of the electronics. In the same vein, the compartment for the remaining electronics, such as the Arduino Nano Every and the HC-05 Bluetooth module, was also 3D-printed. This enclosure offered a clean and organized solution for housing these components, safeguarding them while maintaining easy access for maintenance or modifications. Lastly, to enhance the tank's appearance and add a touch of personalization, I designed and 3D-printed a cannon. This custom-printed cannon perfectly complemented the overall design, making the tank even more visually appealing. By strategically incorporating 3D printing into specific parts of the project, I achieved a balance between functionality and customization. The precision and versatility of 3D printing allowed me to create tailored enclosures and a unique cannon, elevating the overall aesthetic and practicality of my BT Arduino Tank project.

Arduino Nano Every brings Knight Rider sound effects to Knight Rider RC car
Arduino Nano Every brings Knight Rider sound effects to Knight Rider RC car
February 14, 2023

KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) was a fictional car based on a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am in the Knight Rider television series. KITT featured an artificial intelligence, voiced by the legendary William Daniels, and some iconic styling. Savall21 built a replica RC KITT and used Arduino boards to add sound and light effects that he can trigger with the RC transmitter. This is a custom RC car created by Savall21 using a Tamiya TT-02 kit and a resin 3D-printed body shell. The controller/transmitter is a Jumper T18, which has a customizable touchscreen interface. Savall21 programmed his own widget for that touchscreen. It mimics the fictional KITT control panel and lets the user select different sound effects and activate the iconic headlights. The T18 sends commands to an FrSky XR8 radio receiver located in the car. The FrSky receiver communicates with two Arduino Nano Every boards via the S.Port. The first Arduino controls the sound effects, which play through a DFPlayer Mini MP3 player module. The FrSky receiver simply sends a numerical code to the Arduino, which then activates the corresponding audio clip. The second Arduino drives a strip of WS2812B individually addressable RGB LEDs for the headlights and taillights. The user can control the headlights directly, while the taillights automatically come on any time the throttle is below 50%. For fans of Knight Rider and RC vehicles, this is the ultimate project. The car looks fantastic and the Arduino effects add polish to the build.

How are the Arduino Cloud and Explore IoT Kit Rev2  related?

Using the Explore IoT Kit Rev2 with the School plan allows you to unlock more features and access the full content. For example, you get access to 10 real-world projects and additional sensor activities to study sustainability issues using data analysis, and build solutions using advanced IoT systems.

How do my students access the full  content that comes with the School plan?

Students get access to the full content by invitation from the teacher to join a “shared space”. Once you purchase the School plan that best suits you, you can create a “shared space”. A space is an environment where all members of the group can benefit from the same plan and the features of that plan.

In a School Shared Space, members can access extra courses, use Arduino Cloud tools (including the Web Editor and IoT Cloud) with no limitations,  and access Arduino useful resources and documentation.

As a teacher, you can either set up a space or join a space via email invitation. Once in, you will be able to explore your school’s shared space features.

Do I have to purchase the Explore IoT Kit Rev2 to access lessons and activities?

When you purchase the Explore IoT Kit Rev2, you get access to basic content consisting of teacher, onboarding and troubleshooting guides, one real-world sustainability project and two sensor activities. You do this by using the kit with the Arduino Cloud Free Plan.

When you subscribe to the School plan, you get access to the full content, which includes 10 real-world sustainability projects, 11 sensor activities, and foundational content.

Whether you use the free plan or subscribe to the School plan, you'll need the Explore IoT Kit Rev2 to complete the activities and projects

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

This kit is designed for high school and college students who are taking their first steps into the world of the Internet of Things. Students should already have some knowledge of programming, as basic concepts are not explained in the content of this kit. However, students don’t need any prior knowledge of the IoT or how to use, for example, cloud services, APIs, and different sensors for data collection.

What are the minimum knowledge requirements for using the kit?

Students are expected to know basic programming. This kit only includes plug-and-play components and doesn’t require students to build complex circuits. Sensor activities include step-by-step instructions for assembly and programming, however some of the basic programming concepts and code structures are not explained.

How many students can use the kit?

The Explore IoT Kit Rev2 is designed for students to work in groups of two or three, but it is also suitable for a single  student. The kit includes all the components required to experiment with one project at a time. To get access to the tools with unlimited features and the full content, each student needs to have a seat in the teacher’s School plan. 

What languages does the online platform support?

At the moment, the Explore IoT Kit Rev2 is available in English. More languages will become available.

What topics does the Explore IoT Kit Rev2 cover?

The Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2 enhances students’ understanding of real-world applied technology, and is an industry-standard IoT tool that will help prepare them for their future careers and challenges.

With the Explore IoT Kit Rev2 you can empower your students on two fronts:

  • Understanding and using IoT and Cloud technologies
