In order not to waste time on installation in the workshop, it is better to get all the installations done beforehand. It’s not a lot, I estimate that all installations will take you less than an hour.

OVERVIEW
Workshop Overview
The workshop consists of three preparation assignments, three theoretical presentations, and six hands-on exercises with Arduino.
It is most recommended to go over the preparations Assignments (that also include Installations and an introduction to Arduino) and then follow this outline:
IoT is one of the hottest buzzwords in the industry, and everyone wants to learn about it, so you decided to share your knowledge and love for the subject and create an IoT workshop. Soon enough you discover that knowing the bits-and-bytes is only the beginning of this journey and that creating training sessions for engineers requires a different skill-set than engineering.
Since time and resources are always limited, there are decisions to be made: What are the most important building blocks that are crucial for this topic? What should the learning experience be like - theoretical, or “hands-on”?
In this talk, I will share how I addressed these issues and highlight the things which are worth considering when creating a tech workshop from scratch.
Preparation Emails
Preparations Assignments
In the preparation assignments we will go over some theoretical knowledge and basic terminology that will enable you to make the most out of the workshop.
Each assignment is correlated with a different part of the workshop. It may take some time to go over all the links and materials, but it is worth the while - all together they will give you a great background for understanding IoT.
Embedded Workshop
with ARDUINO
Embedded Systems and the World of IoT
Ninety-eight percent of all microprocessors are manufactured as components of embedded systems.
Not all of these devices have internet connectivity, but as the world of IoT develops, more and more of simple, "dumb", devices are enhanced with microcontrollers, and can generate and gather data about their environment, data that is being sent and stored for further analysis in the cloud.
How is it done technically? and just how "smart" can these devices get?
The Fabulous World of ARDUINO
In order to have a hands-on programming experience in our workshop, we need a platform to work on. This is where Arduino comes to help! Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software.
The workshop does not aim to teach the basics of programming, it assumes that participants have some C/C++ coding skills, and uses Arduino as a great learning tool.
Having experience with Arduino is not required, we will cover all the basics!
Hands On!
