Grade 8: Smart Garden Modular Kit
SKU
2308-B-ROB08
R 2,280.00
Launch your robotics and coding journey with the Autonomous Smart Garden
This kit is a great way to get started – OR build on existing knowledge – in the world of robotics and coding. It teaches learners the fundamentals of building, testing circuits, and programming in Arduino before putting their skills to the test with a practical project – a self-watering garden!
With access to our online platform, step-by-step video instructions, and optional bonus projects, learners will have everything they need to transform principles into practice and bring their projects to life.
Categories: Coding and Robotics, Resolute Robotics
Before kicking off their first project, students will learn the fundamentals of building and testing circuits and how to program in Arduino (a C++ derivative). If they have already got the basics down, learners can complete additional projects during the first half of the year before turning theory into practice with the automated smart garden project.
The Smart Garden Kit includes potentiometers, a buzzer, a relay and a DC pump, buck converters and soil moisture sensors to illustrate and expand on electric circuit theory. The Smart Garden is a more challenging circuit, but with our online video-based platform to guide them, learners can focus on having fun while building their own intuitive garden. Learners will be tasked with using a soil moisture sensor to test if the soil in the garden has the proper moisture levels. Once completed, the system autonomously waters the garden as necessary.
