Essential STEAM Lab Kit

R 1,040

The Essential STEAM Lab introduces learners to the exciting world of sensors and electronics with the BBC micro:bit. From motion detectors and soil moisture sensors to crash sensors, buzzers, and RGB LEDs, students discover how real-world devices work while coding their own projects. Designed for Grades 4-9 and fully CAPS-aligned, this kit transforms the classroom into a hands-on STEAM lab where learners explore coding, electronics, and problem-solving in meaningful ways.

Using MakeCode or Python, students learn how inputs and outputs interact, applying coding skills to real prototypes. Projects range from building lie detectors and motion alarms to automating fish feeders and plant monitors, with plenty of room for creativity and innovation.
