Grade 11 STEM, transitioning from intro electronics to "real" projects. Data logger sounds approachable.

Lesson scope:
  • Measure something (temperature, light, soil moisture)
  • Log to SD card OR upload via WiFi
  • Graph results, write conclusion
Kit options I see:
  • Arduino + DHT22 + SD shield: classic, ~PHP 1200 per group
  • ESP32 + sensor + ThingSpeak: more modern, ~PHP 900, but cloud account needed
  • Micro:bit: pre-packaged, easier but locked ecosystem
What do other teachers use? Looking for ~5-session unit, ~30 students.
