What is covered in the course?

In this course we intend to leverage the capability of LiveCode programming environment to combine hardware with software. The course guides students towards a largescale Iot project.

The Instructor will use Smart City concepts as a targeted scenario to inspire students interests to make it fun and practical. The course will integrate STEM elements and will use environmental awareness as a way to connect with everyday situations. Students will leverage on LiveCode’s mobile and cloud application development capability to learn advanced IOT programming.
