How educators can use the kit for remote teaching
The online platform contains all the content you need to teach remotely: exclusive learning guidance content, tips for remote learning, nine 90-minute lessons, and two open-ended projects.
Each lesson builds off the previous one, providing a further opportunity to apply the skills and concepts students have already learned.
They also get a logbook to 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 tips and information that will help to make the learning experience easier.
Key answers and extension ideas are also provided.
How the kit helps parents homeschool their children
This is your hands-on, step-by-step remote learning tool that will help your child learn the basics of programming, coding, and electronics at home.
As a parent, you don’t need any prior knowledge or experience as you are guided through step-by-step.
The kit is linked directly into the curriculum so you can be confident that your children are learning what they should be, and it provides the opportunity for them to become confident in programming and electronics.
You’ll also be helping them learn vital skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving.
Self-learning with the Arduino Student Kit
Students can use this kit to teach themselves the basics of electronics, programming, and coding.
As all the lessons follow step-by-step instructions, it’s easy for them to work their way through and learn on their own.
They can work at their own pace, have fun with all the real-world projects, and increase their confidence as they go.
They don’t need any previous knowledge as everything is clearly explained, coding is pre-written, and there’s a vocabulary of concepts to refer to.
