Information for international students

Exactum Greenhouse is located in the rooftop of our building. We need an advanced monitoring system that keeps track of the greenhouse's environmental conditions. On this creative Internet of Things -course, you will participate in setting up a sensor network that produces data for a web-based dashboard for gardeners. And more.

 

Personal learning projects include technologies and ways of working: 

  1. Design of your own Internet of Things device
  2. Choose your platform: Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Intel or or any other your choise
  3. Implement and install your hardware (sensors, actuators)
  4. Design structures for physical support of your hardware (tinkering, 3D printing)
  5. Test reliability of your hardware and software solution. 

Prior knowledge on web development (Node, Angular, Rails, etc.) is appreciated. No other pre-requisites for students.
