Course Overview

IoT refers to the Internet of things. Through different sensing devices, we can manage all things through the network, make our lives more intelligent, and practice smart home life, smart agriculture, smart transportation, and so on.

This course teaches the Internet of Things from the shallower to the deeper. Through Wi-Fi IoT expansion accessories, you can connect to the micro:bit / mBot / Arduino and other motherboards to connect to the Internet. You can also use different expansions to connect to the IFTTT and Thingspeak platforms for IoT operations. Let students learn the application skills of IFTTT and Thingspeak platform. Connecting different parts and components through IoT, real-time monitoring of relevant data, teaching materials/products are close to daily life, making it easy for students who are new to STEM to understand and arouse their interest in learning.

​

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the operation of IoT

• Inspire students to observe the application of technology in daily life

• Enhance students' ability to observe and recognize the development of current technology

• Let students have an enlightenment effect on science and technology learning

• The course will also encourage students to use different devices and programming to think about or design new and feasible inventions

• After completing a semester, the children will show the knowledge they learned during the semester to the parents to watch
