Spread the LOVE for IoT - How I created a full day IoT workshop
summary
Full day workshop design for embedded IoT that teaches hands-on skills rather than theory: prepares attendees with homework, uses Adafruit Feather Bluefruit LE (Arduino-compatible) and BLE tooling like NRF Connect and the Nordic UART service, runs five hours of staged exercises (GPIO, PWM buzzer, analog solar-cell input, then BLE string transfer and remote LED control), serves about 100 engineers across tracks with a 30-person breakout using three instructors, materials go online and participants report they can now build and debug these systems.
