Academic Visit by Institut Pendidikan Guru Sultan Mizan to FTKEE UMPSA

In partnership with the Institute Pendidikan Guru Sultan Mizan Dungun, FTKEE UMPSA recently held a stimulating training session at the UMPSA STEM Lab on "Exploring IoT with Raspberry Pi and MicroPython". Our objective was to provide the thirty-six enthusiastic participants—who included lecturers and teacher candidates—with the information and abilities necessary to successfully navigate the fascinating realm of the Internet of Things (IoT).

To begin our IoT journey, participants first learned about the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi Pico. With a focus on MicroPython, participants learnt to programme using the UMP STEM Lab Raspberry Pi Module. They also engaged in hands-on activities that allowed them to experience a variety of IoT applications, such as environmental data monitoring and LED blinking, firsthand. Towards the conclusion, participants created their own miniature Internet of Things projects, gathering sensor data and building a basic dashboard.
