Internet of Things

This intensive 5-day workshop included:

1. Working with Micro Bit sensors and instant data mirroring on the Internet. Tasks and goals:

a) Creating a temperature measurement that gives a tweet if the temperature is too low or too high (application: refrigerator, freezer, wine container, etc.). We also used a free cloud service, Tingspeak.com, for instant web responses.

b) Creating a gravity measurement using the shock sensor that gives a tweet if the thing in question is shaken or not (application: cars, packages, boats, etc.).

c) Creating a sensor that measures moisture and provides a tweet at specific values (application: tell if a plant needs water, monitor water leaks, etc.).

d) Creating sound measurements that tell a tweet if there is a sound (application: baby monitor, automatic notification in libraries, etc.).

e) Demonstration and detailed explanation of a year-round school project, the target product of which is a functional drone. The drone was assembled from parts printed on a 3D printer. It was then equipped with programmed Micro Bit sensors that control its movement. The workshop participants were allowed to analyze the drone's functions and test the motion sensors' programming. Ultimately, they had the chance to fly with the drone on the school playground.

In conclusion, the participants learned how to utilize internet services like Thingspeak to gather and showcase data online. Additionally, students learned how, with the help of Microbit and Thingspeak, they could generate Twitter messages that showed information about the temperature and humidity indoors or outdoors.

2. One-day professional training in a specialized company, BioControl (technology for biology focusing on hi-tech products for the livestock industry - biocontrol.no). The workshop in the company focused on the presentation of the company's data management. It also included a manifestation of the company's specialization and excursions into production.

This student workshop was led by teachers and students from Norway from Monday, 6th June 2022, to Friday, 10th June 2022. The program ran from Monday to Thursday from 9:00 to 15:00-16:00; the visit to BioControl was arranged on Friday. The workshop participants were 5 pupils from each partner school (6 from AT) and 2 accompanying persons (3 from FR). There are several results and outputs:

1. Short videos about the preparation for the training activity shot by participants from each partner school.

2. Web presenting instant online data mirroring based on MicroBit sensors and measurements. It is the output from Microbit to Thingspeak; read from a DHT11 sensor.

3. Storing data in the project database map.
