Learning experiences between the classroom and the yard.
Learning in the open air can be very motivating, effective and a complete and remarkable learning experience. When being outside is not possible you can at least find solutions that help you bring the garden inside the classroom.
Some of our original solutions go in this direction: using the power of nature and plants to enrich everyday lessons!
Hands-on learning with a green heart
Best solutions to learn between the classroom and the courtyard.
Geometric Garden
Learn geometry by taking care of your garden!
An educational kit for outdoor learning consisting of:
• The Geometric Garden wooden system
• An Agrumino board
• A set of mixed seeds
• A video lesson on the theme of school architecture and sustainability
The Geometric Garden construction system includes three modular 3D
figures: the sphere, the cube and the prism.
It allows you to build three-dimensional figures starting from flat figures, through an interlocking
system, which makes it possible to be “planted” in the ground, so that
they almost become part of nature. It is also a smart kit because it transmits data, thanks to a digital connector: it includes Agrumino, a 100% open source device which measure temperature, soil moisture, brightness, water level.
Campus Garden AKA Arduino GreenHouse kit
Invented by CampuStore, taken to the World by Arduino.
Winner of the BETT Award for best Innovative product 2024!
CampuStore’s mini greenhouse turns on Arduino power into a sustainable choice!
Also known as Arduino Greenhouse Kit, Campus Garden makes school plants happy and use their data to create realistic, meaningful and effective educational experiences!
This kit for the study of values inside a do-it-yourself small greenhouse was created with Arduino, a kit that combines the ability of the scientific method to investigate reality with mathematics and big data.
The set provides everything you need to build a small greenhouse, the electronics to make it “smart”, the software and cloud equipment
to visualize the data, as well as 7 training video lessons designed and
carried out by Luca Scalzullo of our Academy.
Lessons can be localized for special projects.
The project starts with a greenhouse to be built independently, with plexiglass surfaces having slits for the passage of sensors and cables.
The electronic equipment is based on an Arduino MKR board to be mounted in a dedicated niche, on which sensors such as ambient light and gyroscope are already integrated.
It includes a water pump, a humidity and air temperature sensor, an atmospheric pressure sensor and a CO2 sensor for photosynthesis control, an LED strip for forced lighting and a fan for air recirculation.
Everything is managed by the Arduino Cloud platform.
These components make the school plants “talk” (meaning that they become capable of transmitting data). The Cloud platform allows you to manage activities for 1 year. Then you can decide to continue the subscription or manage the data of the board and sensors with indipendent solutions.
What does CampusGarden include?

eduBird
A smart birdhouse
eduBird is a birdhouse consisting of two overlapping shells, one internal, made of wood that will be pleasant for the bird to make its home in, the other external, in plexiglass, which houses and protects the technological parts.
At the back of the house there is a webcam slot (webcam included) powered by the solar panel installed on one of the sides of the roof.
Once you have chosen the right place in the school garden, you can proceed with the installation of eduBird and wait for some birds to choose it as their nest.
Once this happens, it is possible to remotely monitor life in the house, record images and possibly sounds, and keep track of themduring the passage of the seasons and generations of birds that
will follow one another, hatch after hatch.
Through eduBird you can also show nature from devices and digital board to students, collegues and parents.
