STEM Data Edition Series

by Isabel Mendiola and Peter Haydock

This curricula series explores the world through data. How can a student collect 100s if not 1000s of data points to capture what is happening in a location over time.

There are three books in the series:

  1. SD card data recording
  2. Direct connections to spreadsheets including Google Sheets and Excel, a data apps
  3. Visulization of data using LCDs, TFTs, and realtime graphing

This curriculum uses the DFRobot ESP32 32E Firebeetle microcontroller.

Implementation models (Engineering, Coding, and STEM Classrooms) reported by our customers

Students have used projects and the skills learned in this curriculum to compete in science and engineering fairs in Mexico. One student won the national science and engineering fair run by CONACYT in 2017 and 2018 with her Arduino® skills.

Another group of students we advised used a sensor presented in this book and with modified code won first place in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow in 2020 and the MIT-Lemelson Award.
