# RPi-Pico-projects-for-schools



## [Download here](https://github.com/arm-university/Rpi-Pico-projects-for-schools/archive/refs/heads/main.zip)



## Resource Aim

This book guides learners through a range of projects, contextualised by cutting-edge themes including Machine Learning and Internet of Things. All projects are based on the Raspberry Pi Pico board, a cheap yet powerful device, which can be programmed in Python. 



## Learning Outcomes

- To explore artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques 

- To program a Pico using Python  

- To use and apply code from Github 

- To understand and apply Computer Science theory such as finite state machines and two’s complement 

- To use internet services to push data to visualisation services for interrogation  

- To learn and apply Computer Science techniques and theory using Jupyter notebooks 

- To use a vision sensor to respond to facial recognition triggers  

- To build a full physical device to solve a real-world problem 



## Resource structure

The book is separated into distinct projects that introduce concepts and techniques required to achieve the projects goals. The projects build in complexity. 



1. Getting Started  – this project introduces the Pico and all the hardware and applications needed  

2. Displaying Environmental Data – this project introduces data collection, storage and display 

3. Analysing Environmental Data – this project introduces Jupyter notebooks and data analysis  

4. The I in IoT – this project connects up the various elements needed for an IoT network 

5. Data Science for managing well-being – this project captures physical data and interrogates the data to make assertions and predictions regarding well-being 

6. Accessing data remotely – this project looks at how IoT technology can be used in Operational Technology in your home 

7. Experimenting with Physics – this projects measure ‘time of flight’ and building a model from the data 

8. Security starts at home – this project introduces facial recognition concepts and techniques

9. Bringing it all together – this is the capstone project where learners build an automated bird feeder that identifies and deters squirrels

## Inclusive Language Commitment

Arm is committed to making the language we use inclusive, meaningful, and respectful. Our goal is to remove and replace non-inclusive language from our vocabulary to reflect our values and represent our global ecosystem.



Arm is working actively with our partners, standards bodies, and the wider ecosystem to adopt a consistent approach to the use of inclusive language and to eradicate and replace offensive terms. We recognise that this will take time. This course may contain references to non-inclusive language; it will be updated with newer terms as those terms are agreed and ratified with the wider community.
