Internet of Things refers to a network of individual sensors, actuators and microcontrollers with the ability to communicate with each other and perform desired actions. Iot has several applications in daily life in fields such as agriculture, manufacturing, home and factory automation, robotics and many more.
The circle focuses on working with a variety of sensors, collecting and processing data from them using microcontroller (Arduino Uno) and figuring out how to act on the data: whether to manipulate an actuator directly, or to transmit the data to a remote location for application.
The purpose of the IoT circle is to develop confidence in mentees in their abilities to bring to life whatever project they have in mind. All the learning is done around the chosen projects of the mentees, focusing on how to implement sensors, Wi-Fi modules or any other hardware or software to create what the mentees wish to build. For students with enthusiasm for working hands-on and getting a head start in dealing with hardware, IoT is the way to go

Project building with mentoring
I am an artist pursuing engineering to create technology by the combination of both.
Always been passionate towards electronics and harware projects. This gave me the opprtunity to mentor my young fellows to enhance their knowledge in this field. Keep Leaning In!!
