Objective: To develop an environmental monitoring station based on the low-cost Arduino platform for environmental monitoring using sensors of physical quantities such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, in an undergraduate course in computing, as a motivation for teaching and research. Theoretical Framework: The fundamentals of the Arduino platform, theoretical review of the concepts and applications of the Internet of Things - IoT, as it allows contact with its resources through an internet connection, through remote access to monitor the information measured by its sensors. Method: Numerical methods using programming language, hardware techniques, practices, as well as analog-todigital processing and conversions and vice-versa between the input and output interfaces of the physical systems that make up the model. Results and Discussion: All the results obtained so far are being used as a basis for laboratory studies, academic work, and other scientific and academic means of propagating and sharing knowledge, such as the report of this work. Implications of the Research: Application in undergraduate courses, promoting knowledge, applied in teaching and research, and technological innovation as a means of promoting creativity in students, in addition to environmental education, since it is focused on environmental monitoring. Originality/Value: Its originality stands out in terms of environmental monitoring using an alternative energy source that keeps it running 24 hours a day, promoting actions related to environmental conservation. Finally, in addition to the benefits related to teaching, research and extension, it motivates the development of autonomous and low-cost systems.
