Joyful Learning Starts Here: Join Arduino at ISTELive 25

The countdown is on! Arduino Education will be at **ISTELive 25 in Texas, US, from June 30 to July 2**. Held at the Henry B Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, the event brings together educators, leaders, edtech companies and policymakers to rethink how to use technology to drive learning.

We loved the energy at last year’s event and are thrilled to be part of the action again this year. Find us at booth #507, where we’ll be showcasing the latest Arduino STEAM education kits, classroom-ready content, and creative solutions designed to spark curiosity and hands-on discovery in the classroom.

Want a sneak peek of what’s in store? Read on to find out what Arduino innovations await you in the Lone Star State!

Get hands-on with the future of learning

At our booth, you'll be able to test out our latest kits, watch live demos, and explore innovative ways to spark joyful learning in your setting.

Our Alvik robot was a fan favorite at ISTELive 24 – and it’s making a big return this year with all-new activities and expanded learning opportunities! Stop by to explore fresh content designed especially for primary educators, including self-driving challenges, game design projects, and fun, accessible ways to help kids take their first steps into AI. And while we’re on the subject of Alvik, be sure to check out this brilliant in-person session hosted by MakerSpace and Science Specialist teacher, Alison Earnhart. She’ll be discussing the impact the Alvik robot has had on her robotics classes in a middle school for “twice-exceptionally” gifted students.

We’ll also be demoing our brand-new AI Assistant. Built right into the Arduino Cloud Editor, this smart, time-saving tool helps users write, debug, and improve their Arduino sketches – removing the need to jump between different tools or spend hours scouring the web for help.

Plus don’t miss the opportunity to try out the intuitive Plug and Make Kit based on UNO R4 and Modulinos sensors, including endless possibilities of making IoT and electronics projects in minutes.

More to experience and explore!

Roxana Escobedo, Education lead trainer at Arduino, will be hosting a virtual session on the Medellín Challenge. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the initiative and discover how students applied STEAM+H (Humanities) to address real-world challenges like water conservation and food sovereignty.

But that's not all! Swing by our friends at **Pitsco Education (booth #610)** to check out even more Arduino solutions in action, including the Greenhouse Kit – ideal for environmental science lessons – and the PLC Starter Kit, which helps to plug the gap between PLC education and industry.

With all this (and more) to explore, ISTELive 25 is shaping up to be one of the best yet!

Inspiration, innovation, and interactive fun await!
