INSPIRING TEACHING & EMPOWERING
ARDUINO EDUCATION WHAT IS ARDUINO? Arduino is an open-source hardware, software and content platform with a worldwide community. Over the years, Arduino has powered thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments.
FEATURES AND METHODOLOGY Arduino’s Immersive Educational Environment promotes the creative process through projectbased learning, with a focus on student interaction and group collaboration. “Back in 2012, I was given the challenge of bringing project-based learning to my first group of upper secondary schools in Spain. I realized at the time that almost no one was addressing the needs of educators when introducing curriculum.
WHAT IS CTC 101? Creative Technologies in the Classroom 101, or CTC 101, is a modular STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) program, tailored for students ages 13 to 17. It is the flagship Arduino Educational Program for schools. CTC 101 uses “project-based” learning methodology. Students are introduced to the foundations of programming, electronics, and mechanics through a series of playful, well-documented projects and easy-to-assemble experiments. ARDUINO EDUCATION ARDUINO.
PROVEN MODEL It has been tested globally with excellent results: 735 SCHOOLS 1 550 EDUCATORS 17 700 STUDENTS 1 720 PROJECTS 90% STUDENTS WANTED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PROGRAMMING 90% EDUCATORS FELT THAT THE PROGRAMME EXCEEDED THEIR EXPECTATIONS 70% EDUCATORS LEARNED PROGRAMMING THROUGH THE CTC TRAINING 8
CTC TESTIMONIALS "CTC is one of our best examples of educational activities and makes us especially proud on account of its potential for teacher training, student motivation, and transformation of the society in which we live.
WHAT'S INCLUDED A toolbox with 26 playful projects and easy to assemble experiments. An online platform with well-documented step-bystep instructions. Educators guidance, including training, live webinars and forum monitoring by Arduino Education experts.
CTC TOOLBOX Each toolbox contains enough boards, shields and components for a class of up to 30 students, and for the educators to get trained: 6 Arduino 101 boards: One of the most powerful Arduino boards for education, including wireless communication (Bluetooth) and an integrated IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). They are programmable, able to read inputs (e.g., light levels on a sensor), and capable of controlling outputs (e.g., activating a motor).
CTC TOOLBOX 12
ONLINE PLATFORM CTC 101 is built on its own Education Learning Management System (LMS) with step-by-step instructions and lessons based on five themed modules: Module 1: Programming and basic coding Module 2: Arduino boards and digital signals Module 3: Analog signals and serial communication Module 4: Robotics, power systems, and motors Module 5: Wireless communication via Bluetooth and advanced sensors Moreover, the platform has a: An educators section with self-administered online training, materials f
Users receive access to the online platform for a year. Up to three educators and 30 students are granted access. Educators can then add/remove students to/from the platform at any time within that year. The content on the online platform helps students get started with programming and electronics, while building fully-functional, interactive projects under the guidance of educators. The content is currently available in English, Spanish, Italian, and Catalan.
CTC 101 JOURNEY PURCHASE EDUCATORS TRAINING IMPLEMENTATION WITH STUDENTS Upon purchasing the CTC 101 program, the toolbox will be shipped and the educators will be trained in order to implement the program with their students. PURCHASE The CTC 101 program can be purchased from the official Arduino Store (STORE.ARDUINO.CC/ ARDUINO-CTC-101-PROGRAM ) and selected Arduino Education resellers.
