Student reinforce and deepen their multidisciplinary IoT and data skills by defining, designing, prototyping and presenting an IoT solution to a panel of industry experts and peers.

Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Inspiration: select and present the problem to be solved
• Ideation: present the solution to the different experts
• Prototyping: create prototype action plan including objects and visuals
• Testing: present the concept and validate prototype
• Presentation: present the solution to the judging panel and demo the prototypes
• Inspiration: understand, select and present the problem to be solved to recruit fellow partners
• Ideation: invent a concept that doesn’t already exist to solve a social issue. Learn how to present the solution to experts who will mentor students
• Prototyping: create a prototyping action plan, including objects and visuals to illustrate their plan and will help an expert understand the concept and prototyping needs
• Testing: present the concept and validate the prototype with a second expert, including user experience and enhancements
• Presentation: present the solution and demo the prototypes to an expert panel.
