Arduino Education Kits
Fostering Createchivity
We believe that technology, when used well, gives students the chance to engage in creative ways to explore their potential. As Steve Jobs once said, “The best way to create value in the 21st century is to connect creativity with technology.”
At EdNex, we strive to bring technology and creativity together. We understand the importance of both to stay ahead of the curve in the fourth industrial revolution.
Creativity and technology come together in amazing ways with Arduino Education classroom kits. From just getting started to IoT exploration to real-world engineering, the hands-on classroom kits ignite minds, make the complex navigable and fully engage students to help you shape tomorrow’s groundbreakers.
Our kits go beyond simply teaching STEAM topics – they are designed to help students develop the essential skills they will need to succeed in the future, such as collaboration, communication, problem-solving and critical thinking.
At EdNex, we are committed to preparing students for future careers in STEAM. Our kits incorporate professional content, giving students a strong foundation in industry-standard technology. This means that students are not only learning valuable skills but also gaining practical experience that will be valuable in their future STEAM careers.
Arduino Education Starter Kit
The kit introduces programming and electronics to 11- to 14-year-old students. The set includes step-by-step exercises that require no prior experience, making it perfect for beginners.
Each kit can accommodate up to eight students and consists of nine lessons that can be completed in a total of 25 hours.
With the kit, students can work on two open-ended projects, allowing for creativity and exploration in the learning process. The Starter Kit is specifically designed for classroom use and includes enough components for multiple students to participate in the activities simultaneously.
The Starter Kit can be bundled with Arduino Certification to validate your students’ skills in programming, electronics and physical computing. All it needs is for them to take up a 75-minute online exam that will test their knowledge of the subject.
