Why Arduino
Why schools choose Arduino Education kits
Six reasons Arduino Education kits work in South African classrooms, labs and workshops.
Real, industry-grade hardware
Learners use the same boards and components engineers prototype with, so their skills carry straight into further study and work.
Lessons in the box
Every kit includes step-by-step online lessons, and the classroom kits add teacher guides, timings and answer keys.
No experience needed
Lessons start with current, voltage and a single LED, so teachers and learners can begin with no coding or electronics background.
Works across subjects
Use Arduino in Technology, Natural Sciences, Physical Sciences and Maths, not only in the coding class.
Grows with your learners
Start with blinking LEDs and progress to robotics, cloud-connected IoT projects and industrial PLC programming on one platform.
Official local supplier
Genuine Arduino Education kits from South African stock, with school quotes, delivery nationwide and support when you need it.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Arduino Education kits should I start with?
For a single learner at home, choose the Student Kit or the Starter Kit. For younger learners who want a recognised certificate, choose the Junior Certification Bundle. For a class, the Education Starter Kit covers eight learners and CTC GO! covers up to 24.
What ages are Arduino Education kits suitable for?
Our range starts at age 9 with the Junior Certification Bundle. The Starter Kit is for ages 10+, the Student Kit for 11+, and the Science Kit suits Grades 7–12. The Alvik, IoT and PLC kits are for senior high school, TVET colleges and universities.
Do teachers or learners need coding experience?
No. Every kit includes step-by-step lessons that start with the basics of electronics and coding. The classroom kits also include teacher guides with lesson overviews, timings and answers.
What equipment do we need to use the kits?
Most kits need a computer with a USB port and internet access to run the free Arduino software and online lessons. The Science Kit R3 connects over Bluetooth to the free Arduino Science Journal app on Android, iOS or Chromebook.
Are the kits aligned to CAPS?
Arduino Education kits support CAPS outcomes in Technology, Natural Sciences and Physical Sciences, and they fit the new Coding and Robotics subject. Contact us and we can help you match a kit to the grades and topics you teach.
Where can I buy Arduino Education kits in South Africa?
