The constant development of new technologies changes
the way societies work and what drives them. During the last few decades, digital technologies have taken
over and shifted how we live our everyday lives. For example, the Internet of Things, known as IoT, is a big
influencer over our new ways of living, from the way we communicate with each other to how
we make purchases. By using embedded sensors, actuators and chips in the physical
world that surrounds us to connect devices digitally, the Internet of Things allows us to transmit and gather
valuable data and information that lets us better understand how society works, and
makes our work easier and better. Most importantly, the Internet of Things allows virtually
endless opportunities and connections to take place, and now more and more industries are discovering its benefits. IoT is part of our present and future, and therefore
it is important for us all to prepare, starting in our classrooms with our students. New career opportunities, together with the increasing
demand of industry for IoT solutions, require new skills and knowledge. At Arduino Education, we understand the importance
of IoT and we want to empower the next generation of innovators, scientists and artists by providing them with the right tools
for a better future. The Arduino Explore IoT Kit provides a comprehensive
understanding of how the digital world of connected objects and people work, by getting advanced high school and college students started
with the fundamentals of the Internet of Things. The kit comes with all the components to get students
started in the topic. The kit also includes an exclusive MKR IoT carrier. The MKR IoT Carrier helps you focus more on software
and testing and less on wiring. The MKR IoR Carrier works as an extension of the board
and makes wiring and troubleshooting easier, so you can focus on prototyping your ideas and your programming. Just connect your device to the computer and you’re ready to go! Additionally, the kit comes with online content that provides educators with all the guidance and support they need. There’s a getting started section in the content that explains
more in-depth what IoT is as well as ten different activities that students can follow. All the activities adopt a learning-by-doing approach and teach students how to use sensors, automation, protocols
and graphing to collect data that they can analyze and learn from. A free trial for the Arduino IoT Cloud is included so
you get unlimited compile-time, more storage, and the possibility to sync up to 20 Properties, such as monitor the temperature changes, the LED status
and display values. The kit can be connected to multiple subjects. Whether you’re teaching technology, biology,
business or gardening, your students can benefit from adding aspects of IoT
to their projects. In the Teacher Guide, you’ll find information on all
the different activities, learning objectives, materials needed, and extra tips,
collected into one place to support educators. Create connections, make a complex subject simple, allow students to innovate, and enhance their understanding
of real-world technology with Arduino Explore IoT Kit. Get yours now.
