Description
A micro:bit class set built around home automation — the most immediately recognisable technology in a student's life. Ten Smart Home Kits, ten micro:bit boards and Online Academy licences for thirty students, ready to teach from the day the box opens.
What's included:
- 10 x micro:bit Smart Home Kits
- 1 x micro:bit Club pack (class set of 10) — 10 micro:bit V2 boards, 10 battery packs, 10 USB cables and 20 AAA batteries
- 30 x student licences to the Sammat Online Academy
- 1 x teacher licence to the Sammat Online Academy
- Each kit contains a sensor:bit board, OLED screen, temperature, sound, light, crash and soil moisture sensors, a rainbow LED, relay, DC motor, 180° servo, submersible pump, screwdriver, USB cable, battery box and manual
What students practise:
- Connecting a sensor reading to a physical output they can watch happen
- Block coding in Microsoft MakeCode, working in pairs
- Wiring circuits safely and finding the fault when nothing responds
- Discussing automation and energy use with something concrete in front of them
Eleven project tutorials in the Online Academy cover voice-activated lights, a smart fan, automatic windows, a water level alarm, a decibel tester and more. Enough for a full unit of work rather than a one-off activity.
