Learn to implement functional prototypes that exchange information and interact with the physical world using electronic devices and internet connectivity.
This course explores how interconnecting humans and the real world through electronic devices can solve social problems. You'll learn to implement prototypes where interconnected devices are essential to the solution. Mobile phones, with their continuous growth and adoption, serve as fundamental contact points between individuals and the digital network. By utilizing electronic devices to obtain real-time information, exchange data to manage processes, detect events, or measure physical parameters, decision-making capabilities of the beneficiary communities are strengthened. The course offers specific, applied knowledge with practical applications using specialized high-level tools to create technology-social impact prototypes. Starting with cutting-edge technologies in the Industry 4.0 framework and technology project management, it delves into prototype construction in the Internet of Everything context for solving social problems. Though not required, it's highly recommended to pair this course with "Protothinking® for Social Projects" to develop both strategy and implementation skills.
