<![CDATA[This study aims to explore physics education students' perceptions of integrating Arduino and Internet of Things (IoT) technology in developing STEMLAB-based enrichment media. The research method used an exploratory qualitative approach with Technology Readiness Level (TRL) stages 1–3 conducted over 12 months. The research subjects were 30 students from the Physics Education Study Program at Jambi University in semesters 4. Research instruments included open questionnaires, semi-structured interview guides, and thematic analysis rubrics validated with an average validity of 87.3%. Results showed that 84% of students believed real-time data visualization could enhance concept understanding, 91% agreed technology integration makes learning more engaging, and 81% were interested in learning Arduino in physics experiment contexts. A prototype media based on Arduino Uno R3 and NodeMCU ESP8266 with TDS, EC, pH, and temperature sensors was developed and tested on 8 students with expert validation reaching 88.5% and user satisfaction rate of 87.5%. This research produced a validated media design responsive to student needs and ready for wider implementation.]]>
