Case I5: IoT – A Step towards Smart Campus

Objective:
To enable students to gain a deep appreciation of IoT. They will learn about IoT sensors and devices, as well as IoT basic programming and big data. It is expected that students can develop their own IoT ideas to build a smart campus.

Description:
The school will organise a series of workshops. The workshops include theoretical session conducted in a classroom, during which students will be introduced to various IoT devices and sensor types, how they work and how different components are connected. Moderate and advanced level session may include basic IoT programming and big data, in which students learn how to apply software solutions for different systems and how to analyse big data to optimise IoT designs. At last, students from all session will learn that data collected by IoT sensors are connected to the IoT hub and thus they can draw actionable insights by visualising real-time data using dashboard.

After the workshops, the school will organise an intra-school competition for students. Students will be divided into teams and each team will have 1.5 hours to come up with an IoT solution that can be deployed in the campus. Students will be required to demonstrate the feasibility of their solutions by explaining how it works in a form of presentation. Prizes will be awarded to the teams with the most innovative idea and whose solution has the greatest impacts on the school.
