This repository provides a comprehensive 12-week, 24-lesson curriculum designed to teach the fundamentals of the Internet of Things (IoT) to beginners. It employs a project-based learning approach, guiding users through building practical IoT solutions that track food from farm to table, targeting students, hobbyists, and aspiring IoT developers.

How It Works

The curriculum is structured around 24 lessons, each featuring pre- and post-lesson quizzes, written instructions, solutions, and assignments. It utilizes a project-based pedagogy, reinforcing learning through hands-on building. Projects progressively increase in complexity, covering device coding, cloud connectivity, telemetry analysis, and edge AI. The curriculum supports multiple hardware platforms (including virtual options) and offers flexibility for self-study or group learning.
