Students will develop a practical understanding of Internet of Things (IoT) concepts, smart home automation, and embedded systems. They will learn to program the ESP32 microcontroller to control sensors and actuators, including motion detection, temperature monitoring, and light control. The kit introduces key STEM principles such as data collection, wireless communication, and system integration. Students will gain hands-on experience in coding, electronics, and problem-solving as they build and customise a functional smart home model.
This kit is designed for students in Years 7 to 10, with extension possibilities for senior secondary. It is ideal for Digital Technologies, Design and Technologies, and STEM elective classes. The content supports both introductory and intermediate learners, making it suitable for classroom differentiation and project-based learning.
The ACEBOTT Smart Home IoT STEM Kit aligns with the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies (Years 7-10), specifically addressing data representation, algorithms, and digital systems. It supports the Science F-10 curriculum by connecting to physical sciences and engineering principles. The kit also meets STEM F-10 outcomes by integrating computational thinking, design, and systems thinking in real-world contexts.
This kit uses the Arduino IDE for programming the ESP32 microcontroller. The Arduino IDE is a free, cross-platform environment suitable for classroom use. Students will write C++ code to control sensors and manage IoT functions. No prior coding experience is required, as the kit includes step-by-step tutorials and example code to guide learners from basic to advanced projects.
The kit includes an ESP32 development board, a range of sensors (motion, temperature, humidity, light), actuators (LEDs, buzzer, servo motor), a breadboard, jumper wires, USB cable, and a smart home model base. Also included are a power supply module and detailed printed instructions. All components are securely packaged for classroom storage and reuse.
Each kit requires a computer with the Arduino IDE installed (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and a USB port. A stable internet connection is needed for downloading libraries and accessing online resources. The kit is designed for individual or pair work. No soldering is required, and all connections are made via breadboard and jumper wires. Recommended classroom space includes a clear workbench and access to power outlets.
