Product Overview

Where Meteorology Meets IoT Technology

The micro:bit Smart Climate Kit is an innovative STEAM product that teaches students to monitor, record, and analyze environmental data in real time — then upload it to the cloud for deeper investigation. Built on micro:bit V2 and the IOT:bit expansion board, it bridges the physical world and the digital one.

🌡️

Multi-Sensor Environmental Monitoring

Wind speed, dust concentration, UV intensity, and temperature & humidity sensors work together to build a complete picture of local climate conditions.

☁️

Live Cloud Data Upload

The IOT:bit's built-in WiFi module connects students' experiments directly to cloud platforms, enabling real-world IoT data workflows and remote monitoring.

📈

OLED Display for Instant Feedback

A 0.96" high-contrast OLED screen displays all sensor readings in real time, giving students immediate visual feedback as they conduct experiments.

Why It Works

Classroom Projects

What Students Build & Investigate

Five project-based challenges that combine sensor programming, data analysis, and IoT connectivity into progressive STEAM experiences.

Wind Speed Station

Program the wind speed sensor to measure and display anemometer readings in real time, exploring the relationship between wind energy and voltage output.

Connect all four sensors simultaneously to build a complete local weather station that logs temperature, humidity, UV index, and wind speed simultaneously on the OLED display.

Multi-Sensor Weather Station

Air Quality Monitor

Use the dust sensor to detect PM2.5 particulate concentrations indoors and outdoors, building understanding of air pollution sources and their measurement.

UV Index Tracker

Monitor solar UV radiation across different times and conditions, then program alerts when UV levels exceed safe thresholds — connecting science to personal health decisions.

IoT Cloud Dashboard

Upload live sensor data to a cloud platform via the IOT:bit's WiFi module, building a real-time remote monitoring dashboard — a genuine IoT engineering project.
