ATP Sensor Lab — SciencePod™ + SteamBox™
Every sensor. One device. Zero setup.
ATP Sensor Lab packs the whole science laboratory into a single wireless, automatically calibrated handheld data logger: up to 15 built-in sensors, 200+ hours of battery life and ready-to-teach lesson plans. Switch on, measure, understand.
Two devices cover every classroom: ATP SciencePod™ for secondary science and ATP SteamBox™ for primary STEAM. Designed in Italy by ATP Technologies®, with a 3-year warranty.
Two devices, every classroom covered
Traditional probeware means boxes of separate sensors, cables, interfaces and calibration before every lesson. ATP Sensor Lab packs the whole science laboratory into a single, automatically calibrated handheld device — one for secondary science, one for primary STEAM — so teachers spend time on teaching, not on setup.
01 — Grades 6–12 · Science
ATP SciencePod™
A complete science lab in the palm of your hand: up to 15 built-in sensors, GPS, Bluetooth and a 200-hour battery in one rugged disc. Four models for general science, environmental science, physics and biology-chemistry.

02 — Grades K–6 · STEAM
ATP SteamBox™
The first integrated device for coding, science, math and art: five sensors, a full-colour LED display, servo and voltage outputs, Blockly and Python coding — all in a palm-sized, wireless unit built for young learners.
Explore SteamBox →ATP SciencePod™
A complete science lab in the palm of your hand
Every SciencePod has a display, keypad, memory and battery on board, so students can measure even without a computer — then connect to the ATP Lab app to analyse and share their data.
All-in-one
Up to 15 sensors in one compact disc replace a whole cabinet of probes — plus a universal input for external sensors.
Wireless & portable
Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 and USB 2.0. 300 g, ø 132 mm: carry it to the field, the lab bench or the schoolyard.
200+ hour battery
Long-term investigations run for days on one charge — no daily charging of a class set.
GPS mapping
Built-in GPS links every reading to its location and plots data as a colour layer over a map.
Auto-calibration
Automatic sensor testing and calibration at start-up. One million samples of internal memory for remote logging.
Curriculum-ready
1,000+ pages of experiment guides across nearly 40 science topics — theory, setup, data collection and analysis.
Four models, one platform
Choose the sensor set that matches your curriculum. All four models share the same app, guides and accessories.

ATP Lab app
From measurement to understanding
Connect a SciencePod with one click, choose the sensors and start an experiment within seconds. The ATP Lab app runs on Windows and macOS and as a web app in any browser — live gauges and graphs students understand at a glance, analysis tools built for the classroom and an AI assistant that explains every result.
AI assistant built in
Students ask questions about their own experiment: the AI explains the science, interprets their data and generates a quick quiz to check understanding.
GPS layer for outdoor science
Measurements plotted as a colour-coded layer over the map — ideal for environmental studies, field trips and place-based learning.
Live data & analysis
Real-time gauges, graphs and tables; markers, zoom, statistics, regression and derivatives. One-click Bluetooth or USB — no pairing, no drivers.
Coding driven by sensor values
Drag-and-drop Blockly programming: log data and trigger actions based on measurements, bringing computational thinking into science.
External sensors & electrodes
Plug into the universal input to extend any SciencePod.
SciencePod and SteamBox complete the ATP STEM HUB: real sensor data for the hands-on experiments of ATP Volta™ mobile labs, with ATP Connect™ and Gali, the AI tutor, guiding students before, during and after every investigation.

Science, coding, control and art — one device for primary school
SteamBox turns a first science lesson into a first coding lesson. Five calibration-free sensors, a full-colour LED display and outputs for servos and lamps let young learners measure, program, control and create — all from a palm-sized unit with a 12-hour battery, USB and Bluetooth.
36 lesson plans for science, coding, math, control and art are included, from a pixel-art flower to code that opens its petals when sunlight hits the light sensor.
Sensing
Five calibration-free built-in sensors — temperature, light, sound, distance and voltage — ready the moment it switches on.
Science datalogging
Up to 100 samples/s and 80,000 stored readings; gauges and pictographs designed for K-6, graphs and tables as students grow.
Control
Sensor conditions trigger outputs: two servo drivers, two 5 V outputs and two switches turn SteamBox into a small robotics brain.
Coding
Blockly / Scratch-style blocks and a Python editor with blocks-to-Python; flash the code to the device over USB or Bluetooth.
Animation studio
Pixel art and 3-layer animations on the full-colour 16×16 LED display — 30 animations or 1,800 still images on board.
Music composer
Compose melodies of up to 126 notes over 1.5 octaves and play them through the built-in speaker — art meets math.
