24. Ardusat – A more compelling way to learn technology

As nominated by Josh Murdock.

Ardusat helps educators & parents make learning exciting. Teach kids hands-on science, explore coding, use real-data to enhance STEM curriculum and more – all in a way that’s designed for teachers. The Ardusat Sensor Kit is a great way to get started with basic Arduino programming and learn about sensors. It’s perfect for parents looking to get their kids started coding, engineering, making/DIYing, and more.

In each experiment, students use Ardusat to build, code, and show off what they’re learning. This isn’t a run-of-the-mill lecture or a project that takes two months. Every single experiment can be done in a class period or two, giving your students plenty of building experience.
