 What is the Internet of Things?

The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data. Thanks to cheap processors and wireless networks, anything with a sensor can become part of the IoT.

Now even your home can be a part of the IoT. With smart locks, lights, and cameras you can control your home from miles away with the power of the internet.

Who Can Learn About the Internet of Things?

At NextWaveSTEM® we offer IoT courses for kids and professional development for teachers.

Grades 6-8

Exploration of the Internet of Things:
Designing an IoT Device

Educational platforms, students’ laptops, and smartphones are all part of the IoT. With IoT, everything is coming online, including homes, cars, people, medical devices, even farming equipment. And there are endless examples of IoT solutions being applied in school environments. In this course, students will explore example IoT applications and plan a project to solve problems for an end user.

Why the Internet of Things?

Why should we teach and learn about the Internet of Things? Technology is being integrated into our daily lives more each day. So, it is important to be able to navigate and understand the new technology.

Many of our students today are digital natives because of the widespread access to technology. This makes learning about IoT more engaging for students because of their experiences with technology.
