The Class 5 Innovator Kit: Foundations of Automation & Applied Science expands STEM learning from individual circuits and mechanical activities into applied science, automation and multidisciplinary project building.
Designed for Class 5 learners, the kit combines electronics, microcontroller-based control, sensors, mechanical systems, renewable energy and chemistry in one hands-on learning experience.
Students are introduced to an Arduino UNO SMD and learn how a microcontroller can interact with sensors and outputs. Activities involving IR and ultrasonic sensors, a 16×2 LCD, relay modules, LEDs, a buzzer and a water pump provide practical examples of sensing, control and automation.
The kit also extends beyond electronics. Students can build a hydraulic mechanical arm using syringes and tubing to explore fluid pressure and mechanical movement, investigate solar energy through solar-powered activities, and perform guided experiments demonstrating exothermic and endothermic reactions.
With 14 hands-on experiments and builds, the kit connects classroom science concepts with tangible working prototypes and provides a strong foundation for progressing toward programming, electronics, automation and engineering.

Important Notes
- This is an educational STEM and applied-science learning kit, not an industrial automation system.
- Arduino projects require appropriate programming and circuit connections.
- Relay modules can switch electrical loads, but the connected load must remain within the applicable electrical ratings of the relay and power system.
- Sensor readings and detection performance depend on the environment, object position and project setup.
- Solar output varies with light conditions and is not a regulated power source by itself.
- Hydraulic activities depend on correct tubing, syringe and mechanical assembly.
- Chemistry activities should be performed according to the supplied instructions with appropriate adult/teacher supervision and suitable protective practices.
- Small components and electrical parts should be handled under appropriate supervision.
- Batteries, power supplies or additional components are not included unless specifically listed in the package contents.
