Digital Maker:
Create with IoT and Microcontrollers
1-2 days • 14, 15 January 2025 or enquire to select dates
Ever wondered how smart fridges, smart doorbells, Amazon Echo, Google Home devices, and other "Internet of Things" tech gadgets work? These devices are transforming our daily routines, making life more convenient and connected.In our programme, you’ll start by learning the basics of coding and get hands-on with programmable microcontrollers such as the micro:bit and M5Go to craft practical prototypes that react to sound, touch, and light.This course is perfect whether you’re looking to start a new project, boost your tech skills, or just have some fun creating. It’s practical, engaging, and designed to help you bring your ideas to life. Come join us and experience the thrill of digital making!
What will you learn?
In this introductory course to Internet of Things (IoT) development, you'll dive into the core technologies that power smart devices like smart fridges, smart doorbells, Amazon Echo, and Google Home. You'll get hands-on experience building your own versatile projects using programmable microcontrollers such as the micro:bit and M5Go.For a complete learning journey, you'll also explore intermediate techniques in IoT development through practical projects, gaining exposure to the powerful capabilities of these devices for creating connected and interactive experiences. This hands-on approach ensures you gain practical experience and a solid foundation in IoT development.By the end of the program, you will have learned to:
Understand what “digital making” is, and how it applies to modern prototyping with electronics
Appreciate the world of “Internet of Things” (IoT) by sending sensor data online for practical applications
Learn and apply introductory coding concepts, such as loops, variables, and functions, through block-based languages and Python to program microcontrollers (Day 2)
Connect a variety of input sensors and output devices to microcontrollers, and control them through code (Day 2)
