Internet of Things

Make the Internet of Things feel real, relevant and easy to teach.

This fully planned 6 lesson unit introduces Key Stage 3 pupils to the Internet of Things through clear explanations, modern examples and activities that build confident, responsible tech users. Pupils learn what makes a device smart, how smart devices communicate, then explore benefits and risks including privacy, security and real-world case studies. The unit finishes with a creative group project where pupils design their own smart device and present how they will protect users’ data.

Everything is ready to teach, so you can deliver with confidence even if IoT is not your specialist area.
