IoT technology presents exciting opportunities for students to innovate and create new solutions to real-world problems.

With hardware, software, and network connectivity, students can create smart home systems, wearable devices, and much more. By learning how to work with IoT technology, students develop valuable skills in programming, data analysis, and system design, making them better equipped to tackle the challenges of the future.

IoT for data-driven innovation

Data is the fuel that drives innovation. The Arduino Cloud platform makes it easier to create connected devices, and by working with real-world data, students develop better critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

They learn how to identify patterns and trends, interpret results, and draw conclusions. These skills are essential for success in many fields, including the STEM fields such as science and engineering, as well as business, among many others.

Start with confidence and create connected devices quickly and easily

Your students can choose from a variety of built-in, customizable templates to quickly start building and experimenting with connected projects. From a home security alarm to monitor energy consumption to a smart irrigation system, students create fully functional, connected IoT projects.

Low threshold, high ceiling

Your students can simply choose a device they want to connect, and the Arduino Cloud platform will take care of all the code necessary for setting things up. If they want to customize their project, they can use the Cloud Editor to modify the code and make it their own.

Visualize data in new and exciting ways

Students can choose from dozens of configurable widgets for control and data visualization linked to the data collected by their devices. This helps them explore and communicate data insights more effectively.

Encourage creativity with hands-on learning

The Arduino Cloud platform provides students with hands-on learning opportunities that allow them to experiment with different boards, sensors, and software in a collaborative and safe environment.

The Arduino Cloud also supports a wide range of third party boards based on the ESP32 and ESP8266 microcontrollers with support for Wi-Fi.

Transform how your students connect & collaborate

Your students can share their sketches and dashboards in one click, increasing interaction and engagement.

You can also create assignments with Google Classroom™ integration, monitor progress, grade, and personalize learning. The data the students get from their connected devices is always encrypted, securely stored in the Cloud, and belongs to them.
