With Arduino IoT Technology
A New Chapter in High School Physics Experiment Teaching Reform
Network Training Activities of the Studio
Spring Breeze and Rain, Enlightening the Future
On April 24, 2025, with the spring in full bloom, all members of the Zhang Tu Master Studio gathered online for a passionate meeting, officially launching the key project of Nanchong City Education Research Planning: “Reform and Practice of High School Physics Mechanics Experiment Course Based on Arduino IoT Technology.” This meeting was not only a deployment of research tasks but also a solemn oath by a group of educational dreamers to illuminate the classroom with the light of technology.
Breaking the Ice and Setting Sail:
Determining Direction and Building Consensus
At 3:00 PM, the meeting commenced with Principal Zhang Tu’s powerful speech. He fondly recalled the original intention of the project: “Physics experiments are the cradle of scientific thinking, and IoT technology will give wings to this cradle.” He proposed the principle of “three more”: more learning, more communication, and more practice, calling on all members to engage in research with a sense of urgency. In just ten minutes of speech, he ignited the team’s fighting spirit and outlined the grand blueprint for physics teaching reform in Nanchong City.

Elite Team: Clear Responsibilities and Structure
The “main event” of the meeting focused on project division and structural design. Four working groups meshed together like gears, forming a powerful engine to drive the project forward:
The System Structure Design Group acts as the “blueprint planner,” refining every detail of the experiment modules based on teacher interviews and student questionnaires; the Hardware Development Group is like “skilled craftsmen,” weaving a smart neural network from Arduino development boards to ZigBee modules; the Software Development Group is the “code poet,” fishing for data in the ocean of LabVIEW, and giving wings to experiments with the DeepSeek model; the Experiment Teaching Design Group is the “classroom magician,” transforming dull mechanics formulas into creative sparks at students’ fingertips.

Steady Steps: Planning Before Action, Aiming at the Core
The initial work deployment was as meticulous as a military operation, with three major tasks directly targeting the core of the project:
Members will read “Arduino from Beginner to Master” together, draw nourishment from online classes, and demonstrate their determination with a rigorous learning plan of “two class hours per week”; the hardware group is sharpening its tools, with the first batch of procurement in April and prototype demonstration in June; the introduction of AI technology is like icing on the cake—Doubao and Tencent Yuanbao act as “intelligent advisors,” while the DeepSeek model and experimental data’s deep interaction may create a new teaching paradigm of “voice command control sensors.”

Shared Stars: Collaboration Shines, Future is Promising
“Going fast alone, going far together.” Principal Zhang emphasized the power of collaboration in his summary. Monthly book clubs, bi-weekly seminars, and real-time updates on Tencent collaborative documents… these mechanisms act as invisible bonds, gathering scattered wisdom into a brilliant galaxy. The lights of the Nanchong High School laboratory will witness countless late nights debugging hardware; the learning notes flooding the WeChat group record the unceasing quest for knowledge by educators.
Spring has arrived, waiting for the flowers to bloom
Spring Days are Wonderful
At 5:20 PM, the meeting entered the free discussion session. Dr. Yin Kang demonstrated AI tools on-site, with the code dancing on the screen like lively notes; Teacher Peng Xiaoshan shared her lesson plan design ideas, filled with expectations for students’ innovative abilities. When Principal Zhang announced, “Let’s meet again on May 15,” the comments section was instantly flooded with “Go for it”—these simple two words carry the burning desire of Nanchong educators for reform.
As the profound meaning of “Reform and Practice” in the project name suggests, this meeting was not only the implementation of plans but also an enlightening movement for educational innovation. Arduino IoT technology is like a spring breeze, quietly sweeping across the campus by the Jialing River. When sensors meet mechanics experiments, and AI encounters physics classrooms, we firmly believe: this reform will allow Nanchong students to touch the pulse of future science in the smart experiments they build themselves.
Research and Teaching at the Right Time
In the tide of educational reform, it is not a moment of crashing waves but a persistent flow of steady water. Every step of the Zhang Tu Master Studio in Nanchong City is writing the era’s answer sheet of “empowering education with technology.”
