Arduino returns to Bett 2026: innovative STEAM solutions for K-12 and HE
We’re excited to share that Arduino is heading to Bett UK 2026, the world’s leading event for educational innovation!
From January 21–23, 2026, educators, technologists, and STEAM enthusiasts from around the globe will gather at ExCeL London – and we’d love you to be part of it.
Find us at stand NF31 and dive headfirst into the world of STEAM education. Get hands-on with our latest solutions for K–12 and Higher Education, meet our friendly team (plus a few special guests), and discover how Arduino can help build future-ready skills and improve learning outcomes in the classroom.
Get hands-on with our newest EdTech solutions
Bett is all about experiencing technology first-hand, and our booth will be buzzing with opportunities to explore Arduino in action.
We’ll be showcasing a wide range of classroom-ready tools, including the new and improved Arduino Starter Kit R4. Featuring the Arduino UNO R4 WiFi, refreshed projects, expanded online content, and the Arduino Certification exam, it offers an enhanced and more complete hands-on learning experience.
You’ll also get to try the product everyone’s talking about: the brand-new Arduino UNO Q. Combining Linux power with real-time control on a single board, it opens up exciting new ways to teach AI, IoT, and robotics.
But that’s not all. Explore beloved favorites including Arduino Alvik Robot, the Arduino Plug & Make Kit, and our ever-popular Arduino Science Kit. Plus, our experts will be on hand to introduce Arduino Labs – flexible learning spaces where robotics, science, coding, prototyping, and AI come together.
From waving desk pals to robot showdowns – try our interactive demos
Ready to roll up your sleeves? Our stand will be bursting with fun, hands-on demos designed to spark creativity and problem-solving.
Get acquainted with the Arduino UNO Q by turning it into a friendly desk companion that recognizes you and waves hello (it’s all thanks to the face-recognition models and a servo motor).
Want to put a modern spin on an old classic? Use the Arduino Starter Kit R4 to build your own zoetrope and bring animation and coding to life.
And then there’s Arduino Alvik Robot. We already know it packs a punch, so now it’s time to put it to the test. Step into the legendary Arduino Alvik “Fight Club”, where you’ll program everyone’s favorite robot to take on your fellow competitors in a battle of brains, code, and strategy. May the best bot win!
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We’ll have plenty more demos to explore and experiment with, so make sure you stop by stand NF31 and join in the fun.
Meet our team… and a few special guests!
As always, our passionate team of experts will be on hand to answer questions and guide you through our latest solutions. You’ll leave with practical tips and strategies for incorporating Arduino into your classroom, and new ideas to empower every student through hands-on STEAM learning.
This year, we will also be joined by some brilliant creators from the Arduino community. On Wednesday 21 January, Kevin McAleer will be bringing his expertise and robot know-how to the stand. And on Thursday 22, brother-and-sister duo Camila and Diego – co-founders of MoonMakers – will be joining us to share their creative approach to making and learning.
Come along to chat, ask questions, swap ideas, and connect with the people helping shape the future of STEAM education.
And the winner is…
We are delighted to announce that Arduino has once again been shortlisted for the Bett Awards 2026 in the category of AV, VR/AR, Robotics, or Digital Devices. This recognition celebrates our block-based coding experience with the Arduino Alvik robot, which enables learners as young as seven to explore robotics, mathematics, astronomy, and other STEAM-rich projects.
Will we win? Keep an eye on our socials to find out!
