A NSW Technology Mandatory 7–8 unit of work: students design, produce and evaluate an Arduino-based alarm/alert system. Four hands-on Plug-Run-Play activities — Blink, Button, Analog input and Buzzer — build the coding skills (sequence, branching, variables, the Serial Monitor) the design project needs. Built around the Crack the Code Arduino kit with the MAAS ThinkerShield.
