Ardusat Brings “I Built This!” Moments to Your Classroom
Ardusat is a learning experience platform combining student-friendly hardware kits with web-based lesson plans.
In each experiment, students use Ardusat to build, code, and show off what they’re learning. This isn’t a run-of-the-mill lecture or a project that takes two months. Every single experiment can be done in a class period or two, giving your students plenty of building experience.
We’ve designed our experiments around NGSS and other educational standards. But our hands-on approach to learning STEM does more than meet rigorous standards. It inspires students to understand how these subjects work in the real world. And when students get excited, teachers win.
What is Ardusat?
Ardusat combines eHub software, Sensor Kit hardware, and premium support to bring exciting learning experiences to the classroom.
eHub
Our web-based home for our learning experiences. Teachers can browse through pre-designed labs, personalize them, or publish their own. Our classroom management features save you time, so you can focus on inspiring students to become explorers, right in the classroom. We’re constantly adding new lessons and experiments aligned with NGSS and other educational standards.
Sensor Kit
Based on open-source Arduino hardware, our Sensor Kit includes everything you need to run eHub experiments. Its high durability makes it ideal for classroom environments. And its range of sensors means it can be used again and again for different experiments, giving it great value.
Educator Support
Need help? We’re happy to support your use of Ardusat anyway we can. Ardusat also provides open learning resources to ignite your students’ imaginations and instill an excitement for science, engineering, math, and technology.
“These are the best days of the year.”
Educators love Ardusat – and for good reason. Ardusat excites students and makes learning science, technology, engineering, and math fun.
Plus, our kits and online experiments are teacher-friendly, making them ideal for classroom use. In fact, once teachers have Ardusat in the classroom, they can run as many experiments as they want, making it a great learning investment.
Make every experiment “the best day of the year” with Ardusat.
How Ardusat Works
Ardusat’s open-source hardware, eHub, and standards-based learning resources make STEM education more engaging and rewarding!
1. Pick Your Hardware
From the Classroom Launch Pack to a single Ardusat Sensor Kit, our affordable kits have all the hardware you need to get started. Plus, since Ardusat uses open-source hardware, our kits grow with your student.
2. Find a Learning Experience
Our exclusive eHub platform has dozens (hundreds?) of ready-to-go experiments. Connect your experiment to our platform to gather real-world data. No coding experience? No problem – we include everything you need, including code.
3. Run Your Experiment
Our standards-aligned experiments help students learn STEM through gathering real-world data. Connect your Ardusat hardware to eHub and stream data from 9 different sensors. Once a year, your school can even run an experiment from space using those same sensors!
4. Analyze & Share
Students view the results of their experiments in eHub and use our powerful tools to analyze and understand the data. They can build a repository of their own experiences showing the data they collected themselves.
Flexible Experiments in Your Classroom
Our eHub offers dozens of experiments organized by grade, subject, and more. Here’s just a few samples.
Science
Our science experiments promote scientific inquiry and help students learn how to think like scientists. We’ve designed our experiments around current education science standards and practices, including:
- Asking questions, then analyzing and interpreting data
- Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
Sample Science Experiments
Does the time of year affect the amount of light that can get into a house?
Which sunglasses do the best job of blocking UV light?
Sample Technology Experiments
Which sunglasses do the best job of blocking UV light?
Does the time of year affect the amount of light that can get into a house?
Technology
As more school districts move to incorporate coding and other technology skills into their curriculums, educators need simple-to-implement resources. Our technology experiments make this exciting for students and accessible for teachers.
Our experiments teach students these tech standards:
- Developing and using models
- Analyzing and interpreting data
- Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
Engineering
Our science experiments promote scientific inquiry and help students learn how to think like scientists. We’ve designed our experiments around current education standards and practices, including:
- Defining problems
- Developing and using models
- Using mathematics and computational thinking
Sample Engineering Experiments
Does the time of year affect the amount of light that can get into a house?
Build a laser target practice game.
Sample Math Experiments

Does the time of year affect the amount of light that can get into a house?
Math
As more school districts move to incorporate coding and other technology skills into their curriculums, educators need simple-to-implement resources. Our technology experiments make this exciting for students and accessible for teachers.
Our experiments teach students these tech standards:
- Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering)
- Developing and using models
- Planning and carrying out investigations
- Analyzing and interpreting data
- Using mathematics and computational thinking
- Constructing explanations (for science)
- Engaging in argument from evidence
- Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
“It Makes My Students Feel Like Real Scientists.”
Our sensor kits and software do more than teach science, technology, engineering, and math. They help students learn to think like scientists, developing critical scientific literacy skills they’ll need throughout their lives.
With Ardusat, hands-on learning in the classroom just got better. Our eHub experiments guide educators through each step of the learning experience. Plus, Ardusat makes incorporating new teaching guidelines (such as coding literacy) simple thanks to our clear lesson plans – no coding knowledge required!
Simply pick an experiment that fits your lesson objectives, then go through it with your class.
What Educators Say
“I love the easy-to-use, interactive labs! Our high-altitude balloon experiment showed my class how to investigate changes in temperature vs. altitude from 90,000 feet over Colorado Springs, Colorado. I’ve never seen my students so engaged!”
