We developed the final Computer Science project with the Pikku Academy devices to detect incorrect postures in the neck. We learned how to communicate with wireless devices, access databases, and analyze data mathematically in Android Studio. We enjoyed it very much.

I have used Pikku Academy with my UPV students and it has been a very motivating experience for them. Being such a versatile product, each group has applied it to their IoT project, giving it a different use. The API is very well documented and very easy to use.

The Pikku Academy system has many interesting resources to design learning-by-doing projects in the classroom. A completely innovative way of teaching in the classroom!

The idea of Pikku Academy seems excellent to me to include it in the classroom, especially to work on skills related to technological skills and theoretical knowledge that are stimulated or enhanced with the use of the device.

After years of teaching experience, I believe that the magic formula for engaging students to learn is to challenge them with real applications. In this way, they forget about the boring theory that comes from the blackboard and are motivated to self-learn and grow all their knowledge.
Real use cases
