The Bangladesh University of Business and Technology recently conducted a dynamic and hands-on workshop focused on the practical application of IoT (Internet of Things). I had the honor of being invited as both a keynote speaker and a facilitator for the event. The workshop witnessed a participation of over 100 enthusiastic students, who were organized into 20 groups, each comprising 5 members.
During the workshop, I conducted a comprehensive session structured in three phases. In the initial phase, I dedicated my efforts to enhancing the students’ skills in Arduino, providing them with a solid foundation for IoT development. Moving into the second phase, we delved into the implementation of three fundamental projects that formed the core of IoT applications. This hands-on experience allowed the students to gain practical insights into real-life IoT scenarios.
The third and final phase of the workshop was particularly exciting as it involved the students applying their newfound knowledge and skills to implement 20 mini projects. This segment aimed to encourage creativity and problem-solving, allowing each group to explore and execute unique IoT solutions. The diversity of these mini projects not only showcased the versatility of IoT applications but also empowered the students to innovate and collaborate effectively.
The workshop as a whole not only equipped the participants with theoretical knowledge but also provided them with valuable practical experience. It was a rewarding experience to witness the enthusiasm and engagement of the students as they actively participated in each phase, contributing to the overall success of the IoT workshop.
