Smart AI Home Tech in the Classroom: A Smart Light System Experience

This lesson is part of the Physical AI Lab Classroom Experience series.

What if students could build a smart home system in your classroom?

In this project, students create a smart light system that responds to real-world input like light, motion, or temperature.

Why This Matters

Students don’t just write code—they build systems.

  • Sensors collect data
  • Code makes decisions
  • Devices respond in real time

This is the foundation of smart technology—and how AI begins.

A Simple Smart System

IF light level is low
THEN turn light ON
ELSE turn light OFF
