Understanding what is IoT and its impact across different domains
Hands-on experience creating simplified end-to-end IoT prototypes
Learners will critically examine the potential impact of having smart devices that are connected to the Internet, whether in their daily life or in industries. They appreciate the considerations of building an IoT ecosystem, including the hardware, durability, power and network requirements for a successful IoT deployment. As this is a hands-on course, they will also build simple IoT prototypes using the MǿGo platform, such as a smart plant monitoring and watering system. The MǿGo platform provides a block-based development environment that makes it intuitive for learners to program the behaviour of the unit, and it has native support for connecting to the Internet. Learners will learn to either send data to ThingSpeak, an open IoT analytics platform, or to send and receive data from an internally-developed Python-based server using a simple API.
