This program introduces students to the concept of SMART Cities and Sustainability through hands on use of Arduino technology and its application in powering Internet of Things (IoT) Devices.
Students gain hands on experience with sensing the environment, sending the data over the Internet and present their concept for its application in a Sustainable SMART City.
The program is designed to run over a five week period. With the following schedule:
| Session | Description |
| 1 | Introduction to SMART Cities |
| 2 | Hands on Lab 1 Sensing the Temperature |
| 3 | Hands on Lab 2 Connecting to the Arduino IOT Cloud |
| 4 | Hands on Lab 3 An IoT controlled temperature monitor |
| 5 | Presentations |
In undertaking this program students will:
- Understand the principals of a SMART City.
- Understand and apply the three pillars of sustainability.
- Be Introduced to systems thinking and its application to the Internet of Things.
- Implement a minimum viable working Internet of Things device with the ability to sense the environment.
- Develop and present a minimal viable product.
