The Internet of Things. Empowering Creativity and Innovation in our Students the IoTempower Way

The course is an engaging, hands-on course that bridges the virtual and physical to impact positive change. The course can cater to different learning needs with flexible formats:

Express (4h) Workshop, Intensive (16h) Workshop, and Full Course (60h guided, 20-40h unsupervised). Starting from the 16h version, we cover core topics of storytelling, basic electronics, IoT architecture, machine-to-machine communication, and exploring open-source IoT integration using Node-RED, all within our fully open-source and in-house developed IoT teaching framework - IoTempower.

IoTempower facilitates rapid prototyping, easy integration, system building, and device management. Our course addresses real-world 21st-century challenges by integrating various fields such as computer science, engineering, data analytics, design, storytelling, and interactive arts into our curriculum. We encourage collaboration through group projects and lab tasks, while our teaching approach emphasizes research and exploration for the students. We provide a learning environment that allows controlled failure and refinement to cater to the creative development of the learner. Our diverse student body facilitates intercultural and international learning, international guest speakers from industry and academia, and regular exchanges with other university programs and teachers. We employ challenge-based education, where students solve and select real-world IoT problems, enhancing their learning experience.
