Arduino Education Starter Kit

Teach middle school students the basics of programming, coding, and electronics including current, voltage, and digital logic. No prior knowledge or experience is necessary as the kits guide you through step by step. Lessons and projects can be paced according to your students’ abilities, allowing each student to learn at their own level. You can integrate the kit throughout the curriculum, including subjects such as physics, chemistry, and even history! There’s enough content for an entire semester, so your students have the opportunity to become confident in programming and electronics, and in doing so you’ll also be teaching them vital 21st-century skills such as collaboration and problem-solving.

What is the Arduino Education Starter Kit?
The Arduino Education Starter Kit contains all the hardware and software you need for eight students (in groups of 2). You get step-by-step-lessons, a teacher guide, exercises, and for a complete and in-depth class experience there’s also extra optional content including activities, concepts, history, and interesting facts.

The online platform contains the teacher content, nine 90-minute lessons, and two open-ended group projects that teach students coding and electronics. Each lesson builds off the previous one, giving students a further opportunity to apply the skills and concepts they have already learned. Students also get an engineering logbook that they complete as they work through the lessons.

The beginning of each lesson provides an overview, estimated completion times, and learning objectives. Throughout each lesson, there are teacher tips and information that help the lesson go smoothly. Key answers and extension ideas are provided at the end of each lesson.
