𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭
We’ll begin with a brief introduction to the Internet of Things. Then we’ll upload simple instructions to a tiny computer connected to an LED light, so the light responds when the button on your phone is pressed. After that, we’ll assemble the hardware and see how it all comes together.
𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭
We’ll finish the workshop with a slower, creative part: decorating the light and turning the technical project into a keepsake.
