“Internet of Things (IoT) and Game Programming with Python” ( short-term learning mobility of VET learners)” is a dynamic educational initiative designed to propel vocational students into the forefront of technological innovation. The overarching goal is to equip students with a well-rounded skill set and a deep understanding of both IoT and game programming, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities in the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
In this project-based course, students will learn how to work with a highly readable language, such as Python, along with a Raspberry Pi board, to build a secure ecosystem of interconnected IoT devices. They will be reviewing the basics of IoT smart devices, as well as several important IoT communication models.
- Live Weather monitoring
- Motion detection in a room and image capture
- Tank alarm using Water level detection sensor
- Smart trashcan
Tools and smart devices form a comprehensive ecosystem for participants to explore and leverage during workshops, lab-activities and meetings with experts. They provide hands-on experiences for building projects, troubleshooting, and gaining a practical understanding of IoT and game development concepts. This program goes beyond traditional learning, offering a unique blend of theoretical understanding and hands-on experiences to equip participants with practical skills that are directly applicable to the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
