Arduino Alvik

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. The kit includes: Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 Arduino MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 designed for this kit, includes: Two 24V relays SD card holder Five Tactile buttons  Plug and play Grove connectors for different external sensors Temperature sensor Humidity sensor Pressure sensor Gas sensor (VOC) Ambient light sensor RGB color sensor Gesture sensor Accelerometer  RGB 1.20” rounded display 18650 Li-Ion rechargeable battery holder Five RGB LEDs Buzzer Micro USB cable Moisture sensor PIR sensor Plug-and-play cables for the external sensors Plastic enclosure to attach and protect the hardware Access to the demo version of Arduino Cloud for Education, which includes a complete IoT getting started experience and three introductory activities and lessons.  For a more comprehensive educational journey into the Internet of Things, access to 10 more step-by-step, hands-on projects, each linked to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and covering the fundamentals of IoT, and to connect with Google Classroom, educators can subscribe to  the Arduino Cloud for Education School Plan. Each of the 10 projects takes between 15-25 hours to complete, and can be completed over the course of a couple of weeks or a whole term or year. Each project contains five modules which can be completed in an order that makes sense for your classroom. To complete a project, students ideally need good programming skills and to have worked with sensor technologies.  However, if your students are at more of a basic level, the kit also includes additional technical activities and lessons for beginners.

This kit walks you through the basics of using the Arduino in a hands-on way. You'll learn through building several creative projects. The kit includes a selection of the most common and useful electronic components with a book of 15 projects. Starting the basics of electronics, to more complex projects, the kit will help you control the physical world with sensor and actuators.  The projects in the kit are:      01 GET TO KNOW YOUR TOOLS an introduction to the concepts you'll need to use this kit 02 SPACESHIP INTERFACE design to control panel for your startship 03 LOVE-O-METER measure how hot-blooded you are 04 COLOR MIXING LAMP produce any color with a lamp that uses light as an input 05 MOOD CUE clue people in to how you're doing 06 LIGHT THEREMIN create a musical instrument you play by waving your hands 07 KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT play music and make some noise with this keyboard 08 DIGITAL HOURGLASS a light-up hourglass that can stop you from working too much 09 MOTORIZED PINWHEEL a color wheel that will have your head spinning 10 ZOETROPE create a mechanical animation you can play forward or reverse 11 CRYSTAL BALL a mystical tour to answer all your tough question 12 KNOCK LOCK tap out the secret code to open the door 13 TOUCHY-FEEL LAMP a lamp that responds to your touch 14 TWEAK THE ARDUINO LOGO control your personal computer from your Arduino 15 HACKING BUTTONS   create a master control for all your devices!  Once you’ve mastered this knowledge, you’ll have a palette of software and circuits that you can use to create something beautiful, and make someone smile with what you invent.  The kit includes: 1 Arduino Projects Book (170 pages) 1 Arduino UNO board rev.3 1 USB cable 1 Breadboard 1 Easy-to-assemble wooden base 1 9v battery snap 70 Solid core jumper wires 2 Stranded jumper wires 6 Photoresistor 3 Potentiometer 10kilohm 10 Pushbuttons 1 Temperatursensor 1 Tilt sensor 1 LCD alphanumeric (16x2 characters) 1 LED (bright white) 1 LED (RGB) 8 LEDs (red) 8 LEDs (green) 8 LEDs (yellow) 3 LEDs (blue) 1 Small DC motor 6/9V 1 Small servo motor 1 Piezo capsule 1 H-bridge motor driver 2 Optocouplers 5 Transistor 2 Mosfet transistors 5 Capacitors 100nF 3 Capacitors 100uF 5 100pF capacitor 5 Diodes 3 Trasparent gels (red, green, blue) 1 Male pins strip (40x1) 20 Resistors 220 ohm 5 Resistors 560 ohm 5 Resistors 1 kilohm 5 Resistors 4.7 kilohm 10 Resistors 10 kilohm 5 Resistors 1 megohm 5 Resistors 10 megohm   

The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for Arduino is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the Arduino in the classroom. This Inventor's Kit contains everything you need to complete 10 experiments including using LEDs, motors, light sensors and capacitors.
