Arduino CTC101 is a modular STEAM program tailored for students aged 13-17, consisting of a toolbox with 26 projects, an online platform, and educator training/support. It introduces students to programming, Arduino boards, digital/analog signals, serial communication, robotics, power systems, motors, wireless communication, and advanced sensors through 5 themed modules.

​What does it include?

  • ToolBox: More than 700 components for a class with up to 30 students.

  • Online Platform: Access to the Arduino Education Learning Management System with step-by-step instructions and lessons for more than 25 hands-on experiments based on themed modules.

  • Support: Guided educators training, live webinars, and forum monitored by Arduino Education experts.

ToolBox

  • Locked down access to resources, this is usefull for branch offices needing to connect to their applications on the Cloud.

  • Conditional Internet access, this feature will ensure only the required access for the authorized users will be provided.

  • SSL VPN that uses SSL/TLS protocols to provide a robust and secure connection.

  • Browse or check mail from any insecure hotspot, the iGA Cloudwall will encrypt all communications securely.

  • Web content filter, provides control over what sites users visit.

  • SPF Statefull packet filtering firewall to protect the network from intrusions.

  • Mobility devices on Android and IOS are supported on the go.

  • Wifi connectivity available.

Online Platform

  • Each CTC 101 purchase includes user access to the online platform. Up to 3 educators are granted access, subsequently they will manage student access with a 30 slot limit per toolbox.

  • The online platform runs on a custom-made Learning Management System (LMS), this platform helps students get started with programming, electronics and build fully-functional, interactive projects with the guidance of educators. Currently available in English, Spanish, Italian and Catalan.

  • Educators are granted access before students so they can prepare and adapt their lesson plans with more engaging and creative techniques so that they take full advantage of the latest technologies to integrate them into their curriculum.

  • The content and class dynamics are specially designed to enhance the students’ problem-solving and teamwork skills in a collaborative environment.

  • Student Activities

  • Module 1: Programming and basic coding.

  • Module 2: Introduces Arduino boards and digital signals.

  • Module 3: Introduces analog signals and serial communication.

  • Module 4: Introduces robotics, power systems and motors.

  • Module 5: Introduces wireless communication via Bluetooth and advanced sensors.

  • Reference section: extra material and exercises for troubleshooting and further learning.

  • Educators section: self-administered online training, materials for class preparation, teacher guides, and resources.

  • By the end of the course, the students will have the possibility to prepare and create their own projects and share them with the Arduino Education community.

  • *Note that CTC 101 program duration is flexible and based on the amount of lessons the students take per week (two to three lessons per week are recommended). The core content (student learning activities) can take up to 10 weeks to complete while the complete program (with the addition of student projects) can take up to 20 weeks.

Support

  • Our Arduino Education Team is dedicated to provide support to help educators solve potential challenges while teaching CTC content. We also advise educators on how to guide students through the development of new projects derived from the knowledge gained in the program.

  • CTC 101 support includes:

  • Dedicated online communication from the Arduino Education Team from the start: toolbox purchase advice, online platform access, student enrollment, and further questions regarding CTC 101 deployment in the classroom.

  • An onboarding live webinar where educators will be guided through the content and the tools available in the online platform.

  • Five self administered live webinars with three available booking options per day for educators to ask questions about teacher training, student projects or/and upcoming challenges during the implementation phase.

  • Access to a moderated forum where educators share knowledge and experiences with other educators from the CTC 101 program around the world.

  • Training completion certificate for educators.
