Maker Jr (Advanced)

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.
