Featuring the MKR WiFi 1010 board, a dedicated IoT carrier with multiple environmental sensors, and a rechargeable battery holder, it supports 10 hands-on projects focused on sustainability challenges aligned with UN goals. The kit offers modular lessons and real-world applications, empowering learners to design, build, and control connected devices through cloud integration. ## Description Advanced high school and college students can now create their own connected devices - known as the Internet of Things - quickly and easily. They’ll learn how to build Internet-connected objects with easy-access getting started activities and 10 sustainability projects, supported by technical and theoretical lessons. Each of these projects allows students to investigate and solve a real-world challenge linked to one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Students learn design thinking methods that help them develop their own unique solutions to challenges such as urban farming, health monitoring, and water and waste conservation. Review: 150 dollar kit comes with NO SUBSCRIPTION to the Arduino Cloud which I've confirmed with their support team. You can try to navigate the labrynth of github education and jump through about 30 hoops to get a free 6 months of the service or you can just pay the 6.99 a month they basically force you into doing. My student developer kit STILL doesn't work on github despite jumping through 30 hoops. Which is what Arduino REQUIRES for you to learn the basics of their kit. Pro tip - the instructions for use are AWFUL. Go to the data sheet on cloud arduino and read that before anything. Mine arrived with some of the worst instructions possible. The MKR and carrier itself are nice if you were able to learn how to use them. Review: I’ve been a loyal Arduino supporter for years, but my experience with the Rev2 Kit has been deeply disappointing. Unlike the Rev1 kit, the Rev2 no longer includes the activation code to unlock the full set of lessons, even though this was a key feature in the earlier version. Instead, you're forced to subscribe to an Arduino Cloud plan to access the remaining lessons, which feels like a bait-and-switch tactic. When I reached out to their support team, I was met with a lack of understanding and zero willingness to resolve the issue. They simply pointed to their policies and told me to read the fine print. If you're considering purchasing this kit, I strongly recommend looking at other options on the market. There are competitors offering better transparency, more complete packages, and stronger customer support. Save yourself the frustration and disappointment. ## Features - Empower Future Innovators: The Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2 is specifically designed for advanced high school and college students, enabling them to create their own connected devices while learning essential concepts of the Internet of Things (IoT) and how they can address real-world challenges related to sustainability. - Hands-On Sustainability Projects: This kit includes ten engaging, hands-on projects that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Students will tackle issues such as urban farming, health monitoring, and water conservation while applying design thinking methodologies to develop unique solutions. - Comprehensive Learning Experience: With easy-access getting started activities and in-depth lessons, students will gain a thorough understanding of how devices communicate, manage data, and analyze information using real-world sensors, along with the ability to control actuators through the Cloud. - Robust Technical Features: The kit is equipped with an Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, a dedicated MKR IoT Carrier Rev2, multiple sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure, gas, ambient light, and more), relays, tactile buttons, a display, and a rechargeable battery holder, providing all necessary components for successful IoT projects. - Flexible Learning Path: Each project can be completed in 15-25 hours and is broken into five modular sections, allowing for flexible pacing according to your classroom’s needs.

It's a terrible product and a terrible value, *at any price*. I spent far more time debugging and troubleshooting poor documentation, confusing interfaces, and hidden state distributed across the cloud and the board than I did writing any code at all. There are also broken drivers/libraries, two competing (and equally miserable web-based IDEs), a bug-ridden background agent that you must install on your computer, and a truly surpassing level of unreliability: it is completely unsuited for any kind of cloud application, because it's guaranteed to break and give up within a week. Don't get me started on the classroom "curriculum"; it's an unabashed cash grab to capitalize off of the (sure to be short-lived) Internet of Things enthusiasm that is currently being swamped by AI sensationalism. After having used this product for several months, thinking about Arduino and even embedded programming is sufficient to turn my stomach. Congratulations to Arduino, however: they've managed to create something that is guaranteed to make anyone of any age despise embedded programming and IoT. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2 [AKX00044] - Comprehensive Educational Kit for Advanced High School and College Students to Create Sustainable Internet of Things Projects with Real-World Applications - Arduino Student Kit [AKX00025] - Arduino Engineering Kit REV2 [AKX00022] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/582942510-arduino-explore-iot-kit-rev2-akx00044](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/582942510-arduino-explore-iot-kit-rev2-akx00044) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
