The ELECFREAKS Smart Greenhouse Kit is a hands-on STEM kit that simulates smart agriculture using a micro:bit and IoT expansion board. Students plant seeds in the built-in growth groove, monitor conditions with integrated sensors, and program automated responses — learning about environmental science, IoT, and coding in one engaging project.
The kit includes light and soil moisture sensors to monitor growing conditions, 8 rainbow LED rings that adjust lighting based on the environment, and a 3V water pump with relay for automated watering. A transparent cover lets students observe plant growth while the system manages the greenhouse environment. Data can be transmitted to an IoT dashboard for real-time analysis.
Key Features
- micro:bit Powered – Uses a micro:bit mainboard with IoT expansion board (micro:bit sold separately)
- Integrated Sensors – Light sensor and soil moisture sensor for environmental monitoring
- Automated Watering – 3V water pump with relay for programmable irrigation
- 8 Rainbow LED Rings – Adjustable lighting based on sensor data
- IoT Dashboard – Transmit and analyse real-time growth data online
- Graphical Programming – Block-based coding platform for easy programming
- Safe Design – Expansion board positioned outside the greenhouse, away from the water pump
- Transparent Cover – Observe plant growth without disturbing the environment
Ideal For
- Primary and secondary school STEM education
- Learning about smart agriculture and IoT
- Environmental science and biology projects
- Introduction to graphical programming and sensor-based automation

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
