This hands-on STEM kit helps students build a working smart watering system while learning about automated agriculture, water conservation and climate action. It combines BOSON environmental sensors and a water pump with the included UNIHIKER K10 AI Coding Board to monitor soil moisture and available water levels, then automatically irrigate plants based on that data.
The bundle is designed for classrooms, STEM workshops and at-home learning for students aged 8 and up. Colourful Lego-compatible BOSON modules, drag-and-drop coding and a visual step-by-step curriculum make it approachable for beginners, while the project context connects coding and electronics to UN Sustainable Development Goal 15: Life on Land.
The kit supports both micro:bit and UNIHIKER K10 ecosystems, and includes tutorials for the K10. As part of the modular BOSON platform, it can also be extended with additional BOSON sensors and modules as students move from simple builds to more complex environmental monitoring projects.
Included: Building Block Expansion Board x1, Water Level Sensor x1, Soil Moisture Sensor x1, Water Pump x1, 3-Pin Cable x2, Small plastic box x1, Plastic container x2, Building Blocks Parts Pack x1, Adjustable watering dripper x2, Plastic Tee Connector x1, Plastic Straight Connector x1, Tube x3, UNIHIKER K10 x1, Type-C USB cable x1.
Features:
- Teaches Climate Action: Combines coding & hardware with UN sustainability goals (SDGs).
- Easy for Kids (8+): Colourful, Lego-compatible blocks and simple drag-and-drop coding.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Boson
- Boson is a modular electronics system that uses plug-in cables and modules to connect sensors, buttons, displays, and controllers without much wiring. If a cable is marked for Boson, it is intended to fit that connector style and pin arrangement.
- ESP32
- ESP32 is a family of microcontroller modules with built-in wireless features such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Knowing this product uses an ESP32-based module helps explain how it provides wireless serial communication and firmware update features.
- Gravity
- Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
- Motion detection
- A camera feature that checks the image for changes that suggest something has moved. It matters because your project can use movement as a trigger instead of constantly saving or processing every frame.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
- SRAM
- Fast temporary memory used by a processor while a program is running. More SRAM helps with projects that handle larger data buffers, networking, displays, or more complex code.
- UNIHIKER
- UNIHIKER is a small programmable computer board used in education and maker projects, often connected to external sensors and modules. Compatibility matters because the cable must match the board’s connector type and pin layout.
- USB Type-C
- A reversible USB connector used for power and data on many modern devices. On this kit it indicates an alternate 5V power input, which may be useful for setup or charging without the solar panel.
