LEARN THE BASICS OF PROGRAMMING, CODING, AND ELECTRONICS,
INCLUDING CURRENT, VOLTAGE AND DIGITAL LOGIC. NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
OR EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED!
WHAT IS THE ARDUINO STUDENT KIT?
●
Affordable and inspired by the original Arduino Starter Kit, the Arduino Student Kit
provides step-by-step-lessons with information and learning material, such as detailed
teacher guidance, vocabulary, exercises, extra optional activities, concepts, history, and
interesting facts, for a complete and in-depth class experience for middle school students
aged 11 +.
●
You’ll get all the hardware and software you need for one person, making it ideal to use for
remote teaching, homeschooling, and self-learning.
●
Educators can teach their class remotely using the kits, and parents can use the kit as a
homeschool tool for their child to learn at their own pace.

CONTENT
●
Online content for 9 lessons and 2 open-ended group projects for middle school
students (11+).
●
Optional and useful extra content for both educators and students , such as resources for
extended learning, teacher notes for educators, and further notes for students.
●
Each lesson builds off the next and provides the opportunity to apply skills and concepts
that were covered in previous lessons.
●
Each lesson is designed to be completed individually, working with one Arduino Student
Kit and one computer.
●
The online course comes with a logbook in a PDF format that students complete as they
work through the lessons.

EXPLAINING THE LESSONS
Each lesson should last around 90
minutes. The lessons are planned with the
possibility of being divided in two ways:
●
Covering the basics of electronics
takes approximately 17 hours
●
Extra resources are provided within
each lesson to provide extension
possibilities. These resources bring
the total lesson time to 25 hours
9
EXPLAINING THE LESSONS
●
The start of each lesson includes an overview,
estimated completion times, and learning
objectives.
●
Throughout each lesson the teachers can use
the helpful teacher notes for lessons to go
more smoothly. The teacher notes are
recommendations and extra information for
teaching and learning guidance.
●
Another learning tool inside the lessons is the
further notes for students,
including
extended
information
for
better
understanding.
10
INVENTION SPOTLIGHT
●
The Arduino Student Kit takes students on a
journey through past ideas, inventions, and
innovations that have shaped our world.
●
In the Invention Spotlight, students learn
about different inventions and facts behind the
topics and lessons, giving them a broader view
and historical insight.
11
RESOURCES
●
The resources are extra content which provide extended learning information for a more
comprehensive experience. Resources aren’t included in lesson time, but rather are optional extras, so
it’s up to students how they use this section. You’ll find the resources on a content tab outside the
lessons as well as in the “learn more about” botton within the lessons themselves.
VOCABULARY
●
Every lesson comes with a vocabulary section including words that might be unfamiliar to students.
There are numerous vocabulary activities a teacher can do with their students. These activities can be
considered as in-class extension activities or as additional assignments for students to complete on
their own.
12
PROJECTS
●
The course includes two open-ended projects. These projects can be completed individually or in
groups, and there’s no right or wrong answer since students are free to develop the projects in a way
they want to. They just have to meet certain constraints and criteria.
●
Students will find different solutions and ways to develop the projects, inviting innovation, creativity
and problem-solving thinking.
13
PROJECTS
Lesson 5- 90 mins
Students design, build, and program their own holiday light circuit.
Lesson 10- 180 mins
Students design, build, and program a climate-control system for a
greenhouse.

LOGBOOK
●
The Arduino Student Kit comes with an logbook.
●
The logbook is a downloadable PDF with exercises related to the concepts learned during the
lessons. Students answer the exercises as a way of reinforcing their newly-learned knowledge.
●
The logbook comes with the solutions to the exercises at the end, inviting students to reflect on
their answers and mistakes.
●
You can print as many copies as needed for your class, and it can be completed either
individually or in groups.
15
LOGBOOK
EXERCISES
During the lessons, students will be
asked to do exercises as a way of
reinforcing what they are learning.
SOLUTIONS
At the end of the logbook, students will
find solutions to the exercises so they
can double check their answers and
self-reflect.
