Learn concepts around Smart Home, IoT (Internet Of Things) and Home Automation
The micro:bit Smart Home STEAM Program is designed to help students get started with exploring the world of electronics with a focus on home automation.
Simply speaking a “Smart Home” is a home equipped with the lighting, heating, cooling, visual, sound appliances, miscellaneous electronic devices that can be controlled remotely (and automated) by a smartphone or a computer.
A “Smart Home” usually allows for automation of simple tasks (e.g. turning lights on only when someone enters the room, checking if your plant needs watering and turning on the water supply for a brief instant, turning off all the lights in the house at a predefined time at night, etc.) with a view to increasing efficiency (reducing consumption, cost of energy, etc.) and allowing for easier access to controls (for the given appliance).
The micro:bit Smart Home STEAM Program is a term based program that lasts for an 8 week term. It allows for 4 classes of students to participate in 8 x 1 hour sessions based around coding and programming the micro:bit as well as several design and invention challenges modelling the Engineering Design Cycle.
All challenges and coding principles taught in the micro:bit Smart Home STEAM Program link to the Australian Curriculum.
