Internet of Things - A Beginner's Workshop

The Internet of Things is a highly technical and complex area of expertise that is constantly changing, making it difficult for beginners to get onboard, especially for those without previous experience with electronics and coding. We want to break down that complexity. 

This workshop will help you get started with the Internet of Things through a brief introduction that will focus on the key developments in recent years as well as examples of practical applications.

The second part of the workshop will consist of a small group project where you will have contact with the major components of an Internet of Things project, namely electronics and programming, without coding or soldering electronics.

At the end of the workshop you'll be able to assemble a pre-defined and pre-prepared project that is simple but has all the complexity of an Internet of Things project, and by doing that, create some familiarity and intuition on how “things” really work.

 Limited to 12 people.
