This technical demonstration introduces Tekniverse (Figure 1), an end-to-end Internet-of-Things (IoT) toolkit designed for education, targeting middle and high school students as a tool for environmental data literacy. Tekniverse is a learning platform for data driven projects that teaches you how to create a network using physical objects - "things"- that can sense the environment, analyze data and exchange information. Tekniverse blends physical hands-on and "virtual fieldwork"to increase and equalize student resources. These features further cultivate critical thinking and anticipatory skills, acting as a vehicle for students to collaborate.
