STEM remote learning during COVID-19
A small wireless multimeter, DSO and logger is being used by students studying STEM subjects remotely.
Home learning has been disruptive for most during the past two years, but becomes even more difficult for those needing practical, hands-on solutions for their studies.
The Pokit Innovations wireless device has become increasingly popular in homes for STEM learning, with institutions such as Yale University adopting the device in their education programs.
Heinrich Venter, CEO of Pokit Innovations, said STEM practical courses have been one of the most challenging courses to adapt to a remote learning environment.
“Lab equipment has traditionally been costly for individuals to purchase at home,” he said.
“Originally, our Pokit devices were designed for the DIY electronics market, but as COVID hit, we saw an uptick in demand from colleges and universities worldwide. Yale purchased a few hundred units and has now included using Pokit devices in their curriculum.”
Pokit PRO is a full-featured multimeter, accurately measuring AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance and ambient temperature, including checks for continuity and diodes.
Pokit Meter is a small wireless multimeter, digital storage oscilloscope and logger, all in a single unit. Multiple parameters, such as voltage, current, resistance and temperature, are measured, displayed and recorded. The Pokit mobile phone app and its wireless connectivity make it easy to use with mobile phones.
