Everything needed to start, in one box: the micro:bit Smart Agriculture Kit, a micro:bit V2 board, and fifteen self-paced lessons in the Sammat Online Academy. Students measure soil moisture and switch on a pump, watch greenhouse temperature and open a vent, and the lessons take them through each build step by step. What's included: 1 x micro:bit Smart Agriculture Kit 1 x micro:bit GO pack (V2) — board, battery pack with 2 x AAA batteries and a USB cable 15 self-paced lessons in the Sammat Online Academy, with build steps, code and video walkthroughs Kit contains an IoT:bit Wi-Fi board, DS18B20 waterproof temperature sensor, soil moisture sensor, water level sensor, PIR motion sensor, servos and connecting leads The lessons cover: Automatic irrigation and greenhouse monitoring Artificial grow lighting and pond water levels Timed feeding and movement detection near a crop Block coding in Microsoft MakeCode, with readings able to go to a cloud dashboard You will need a computer, phone or tablet with internet access to load the Microsoft MakeCode editor. Fifteen lessons is the deepest course we offer on a single micro:bit kit — enough for a full unit of work rather than a weekend.

A micro:bit class set for teaching food production, water use and sustainability. Ten Smart Agriculture Kits, ten micro:bit boards and Online Academy licences for thirty students, so a whole class can build irrigation systems, greenhouses and pond monitors that actually run. What's included: 10 x micro:bit Smart Agriculture 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, covering 15 self-paced lessons 1 x teacher licence to the Sammat Online Academy Each kit contains an IoT:bit Wi-Fi board, DS18B20 waterproof temperature sensor, soil moisture sensor, water level sensor, PIR motion sensor, servos and connecting leads What students practise: Deciding what number counts as "dry enough to water" and defending the choice Building a system that runs without a person watching it Block coding in Microsoft MakeCode, working in pairs Connecting a technology lesson to geography, science and sustainability Fifteen self-paced lessons in the Online Academy cover irrigation, greenhouse monitoring, grow lighting, pond water levels and timed feeding — enough for a full unit of work. The batteries are included too, so nothing needs buying before the first lesson.

The Smart Agriculture Kit puts food production on the desk. Students measure soil moisture and switch on a pump; watch greenhouse temperature and open a vent; detect movement near a crop and set off a deterrent. It connects coding to something most children have opinions about but rarely get to test. What's included: IoT:bit Wi-Fi expansion board for the micro:bit DS18B20 waterproof temperature sensor Soil moisture sensor and water level sensor PIR motion sensor Servos and connecting leads micro:bit board is not included — add a micro:bit V2 at checkout What students practise: Deciding what number counts as "dry enough to water" and defending the choice Building a system that runs without a person watching it Block coding in MakeCode, with readings able to go to a cloud dashboard Connecting a technology lesson to geography, science and sustainability Fifteen self-paced lessons for this kit sit in Sammat's Online Academy, covering irrigation, greenhouse monitoring, grow lighting, pond water levels and timed feeding. Written for Australian classrooms and sold as an add-on to the kit.
