CODING & IOT LAB
Code. Connect. Create.
A software-and-sensor lab that takes students from block-based logic through Python and web development into the Internet of Things — connecting a switch flip in the real world to a dashboard on a screen, the same progression covered in STEMpedia's IoT-for-Kids curriculum track.

What the Coding & IoT Lab actually is?
Coding and IoT are taught together because the second is the natural destination of the first: once a student can write a loop and read a sensor, wiring that sensor to the cloud and a phone dashboard is a short step. The lab covers block-based logic, then Python and web basics, then a full IoT stack — microcontrollers, sensors, Wi-Fi modules and cloud dashboards — so a smart-irrigation or home-automation build is a capstone, not a stretch.
Logic before syntax
Block-based programming builds correct logical thinking before students ever have to remember semicolons or indentation.
Real connected projects
Every IoT unit ends in a genuinely working, cloud-connected build — a smart plant-waterer, a room-occupancy dashboard, a voice-controlled light.
Cybersecurity & data-ethics thread
Every connected project includes a short module on data privacy and safe device use, not just how to make it work.
Portfolio-driven assessment
Students are assessed on working, documented projects rather than syntax quizzes alone.
Lab Setup & Equipment
Spec sheet: what gets installed
Every component below ships, is commissioned on-site, and comes with a matching maintenance line item — nothing here is a "coming soon" placeholder.
| DUET STEM · AI & Robotics Lab | Rev. 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Component | Specification | Quantity |
| Block-coding & Python workstation | Laptops/desktops with a coding IDE and offline block editor | 1 per 2 students |
| IoT development boards | Wi-Fi enabled microcontrollers with GPIO for sensors | 1 per 2 students |

| Cloud dashboard subscription | Student-safe IoT dashboard for live data visualisation | 1 seat per student |
| Networking essentials | Dedicated lab router/switch with content-filtered access | 1 per lab |
| Prototyping accessories | Breadboards, jumper wires, enclosures for finished builds | 1 set per 2 students |
| Project showcase kiosk | Screen displaying live student project dashboards | 1 per lab |
Curriculum & Grade Roadmap
A continuous pathway, not one-off
Modules build on each other year over year so a student's grade-10 session assumes and extends what they built in grade-6, rather than repeating fundamentals.
