• Title:  

Introduction to the Internet of Things (IoT) Devices 

Course Number: 

MCT1201 

Course Description: 

In this course, students will build a variety of electronic Internet of Things (IoT) projects using the very popular Arduino microcontroller platform and computer code written in C/C++.  Students will learn the following topics: 

  • Electricity and electronic fundamentals (none of the projects exceed the power of a 9 volt battery) 
  • Reading electronic schematics 
  • Identify various electronic sensors and actuators (motors and other robotic components) 
  • Wire their projects using the Arduino compatible processor and a wide range of electronic components 
  • Write, test, debug C/C++ computer code 
  • Upload their software to their projects and test its operation. 

This course is based on the very popular microcontroller (computer) Arduino platform.  Students will build a variety of electronic projects drive by an Arduino compatible processor 

Technology Requirements: 

Each participant should have the following prior to the start of class. 

  • Modern computer system (PC, MAC or Chromebook) (desktop / laptop) with some form of IP Camera and either a wired or wireless connection to the home network. 
  • Highspeed Internet connection (minimum 6Mbps).  Check your speed here.

Suggested Student Age: 

10 to 16 years old 

Teaching Method: 

This course is an instructor led class using the popular Zoom web-based online meeting application.  Each day the instructor will actively lead the class thru two sessions.  In the first session, the instructor will present the project for the day, then discuss the prerequisite concepts, skills and introduction to the project components to be used.  In the second session, students will then be asked to build their projects with instructor guidance and supervision.  Once the project is completed, students will be asked to complete a project worksheet designed document their work and explain in their own words the operation of the device they have built, along with the components used.  The worksheet will be submitted to the instructor and graded.  Grades along with instructor comments will be shared with the student and parents. 

Total Instruction Hours:
