Seven smart-hardware courses, each with its kit, lesson plans and instructors

From M0 to M6, every course comes with real hardware, lesson-by-lesson teaching plans and acceptance criteria. Schools use them to run classes; integrators use them to train delivery teams. M0 needs no prior experience, and the other six can be taken independently by track.

The number in each cell is the course length in days for that level. Select any cell to see that course’s hardware, syllabus and acceptance criteria.

What you receive when you bring in one course

A complete set of teaching assets including courseware, training kits, source code, and instructor training, enabling your team to teach and deliver independently.

Labs that run in the classroom

Every module is built around real hardware: learners assemble it, debug it and demo it in class.
Hardware kit and course materials

Hardware from the ecosystem's own catalogue, plus textbook, lab manual, teacher materials and learner assignments.
Project documents you can file

Deployment topology, configuration files, operations and acceptance documents, itemised on each module page.
Four ways to buy

Hardware only, the standard teaching kit, a Chaihuo instructor teaching on site, or training your own instructors first.

Igniters and Bases wanted

Pioneers are the Igniters Chaihuo recruits: learn the courses first, then teach them in your own city and carry the maker-education flame to more places. There are 70+ of them so far, in 10+ countries. Organisations with a permanent venue can apply to become a certified Base.

Start with one course.

Pick one module and run a trial cohort: the hardware kit, lesson plans and learner assignments are all provided. If it works for you, we can talk about adopting the full programme. Email us and we will reply with a proposal within 3 working days.
