Course Description
Internet of Things (IoT) has been an increasingly popular term over the last few years, where it seemed like a nerdy sci-fi dream and a great plot for a movie at first, but now it's everywhere around us and growing.
In this 6-module course, we will explore with you the world of Internet of Things by learning what its meaning, system design, system components, and building your own IoT system project with Raspberry Pi and uploading your project information to the cloud servers. Students will be asked to create projects of different complexities, building their IoT system design, code their entire project, and save their progress in the servers.
We're excited to learn about your creative ideas, and we look forward to helping you improve your research & development, teamwork, and presentation skills.
Course Topics
Module 1: Introduction
In the first module, we will introduce our students to the world of internet of things and robotics, while also discussing the meaning of each concept and their modern day advantages.
Module 2: Getting started with Raspberry Pi
Next, our students will be introduced to the models of Raspberry Pi and its components. Students will also be taught how to install and set up their own Raspberry Pi operating system.
Module 3: Python Programming
For this module, our students will focus on learning the basics of the Python programming language. Our students will grasp key concepts such as variables, operators, control flow, arrays, functions, and modules.
Module 4: Sensors & Actuators
Module four will teach students how to read and communicate with sensor values, and also learn how to control actuators. A summary of the topics we will cover includes ultrasonic sensor, light sensor, LEDs, buzzers, motors, PiCamera, and more.
Module 5: IoT Platforms
Afterwards, students will learn how to upload their own Raspberry Pi’s local data (from sensors, etc) to the cloud servers. Students will also visualize data, and control IoT systems online
Module 6: Final Projects
In the final module, students will work on their own projects in groups and present their final projects to the class. Every student will receive their certificate of completion of this course.
