Product description
Electrokit Uno Edu Shield is an excellent way to get started with programming, electronics and technical learning. The product is developed for schools and self-study where practical problem solving is in focus.
- Simple connection: Connects directly to an Arduino Uno R3, R4 or equivalent compatible board. With a well-designed set of components and sensors that can be combined to create temperature alarms, musical instruments, people counters and much more. Watch Electrokit’s video on YouTube to learn more about the board.
- Comprehensive educational material: Together with the board, Electrokit has developed comprehensive educational material with accompanying example code. It explains the code, C++, how the components work, and much more. The level increases gradually, and theory is combined with practical examples. The educational material is free to use for schools, universities, engineers, makerspaces and innovators.
- Getting started with programming: By combining programming, sensors and interactive projects, students and participants can work practically with Arduino Uno R3 or Arduino Uno R4 from the very first lesson. The platform makes it easy to get started with programming buttons, LEDs and sensors, without the need for a breadboard, jumper wires or loose components. You can simply start programming directly by mounting the EDU Shield on your Arduino Uno.
- Pedagogical structure: Helps the user gradually develop skills in programming, electronics, logical thinking and problem solving. The product is suitable for both beginners and more advanced users thanks to the many programming exercises and lessons. This provides plenty of room for creativity and experimentation.
- EDU Shield is suitable for teaching in: Technology, programming, automation and engineering-related education where theory is combined with practical exercises. The modular design makes it quick and easy to expand with new sensors, modules and functions as the knowledge level increases.
Perfect for:
- School and higher education
- Maker education and STEM projects
- Laboratory work and technical workshops
- Self-study and hobby projects
- Prototype development and product development
With a focus on creative learning and practical application, technology becomes both accessible and engaging — whether the goal is to understand the basics of programming and electronics or to develop advanced interactive projects.
