Syllabus
Objectives and Expected Outcomes
There are 24 project-based lessons and that includes frequent quizzes. Students not only can learn the basic principles of IoT to build their first ‘Hello World’ IoT project, but they will also go through all projects covering the journey of food from farm to table, including farming, logistics, manufacturing, retail, and consumer – all popular industry areas for IoT devices.
By the end of this series, students will build the following projects with Wio Terminal use in real-world:
- A plant monitoring and watering system
- A vehicle tracker
- A smart factory setup to track and check food
- A voice-controlled cooking timer
Students will also learn the basics of the Internet of Things including:
- How to write device code
- How to connect to the cloud
- How to analyze telemetry and run AI on edge
This kit is built with Wio Terminal. You can also choose the kit for Raspberry Pi 4. Each platform has its own upsides and downsides, and these are all covered in one of the initial lessons. Review that lesson to decide which hardware platform you are most interested in learning.
If you want to make your IoT project smarter, but don’t know how to start adding “AI” to your next IoT project. Don’t worry and take it easy, a new “SenseCAP K1100 – Sensor Prototyping Kit with LoRa® and AI” will make it easy to get started. This kit allows users of all backgrounds and levels to create DIY sensors for data collection and solve real-world challenges.
About this curriculum
Learn the basics of the Internet of Things with this free 12-week, 24-lesson curriculum from the Microsoft Cloud Advocates. Build prototypes of real-world IoT projects as you learn all about IoT whilst following the journey of food from farm to table.
Azure Cloud Advocates at Microsoft are pleased to offer a 12-week, 24-lesson curriculum all about IoT basics. Each lesson includes pre- and post-lesson quizzes, written instructions to complete the lesson, a solution, an assignment, and more. Our project-based pedagogy allows you to learn while building, a proven way for new skills to ‘stick’.
You may also need the following parts:
- ArduCam Mini 2MP Plus – OV2640
- Headphones or other speakers with a 3.5mm jack, or a JST speaker such as:
- Optional – microSD Card 16GB or less for testing image capture, along with a connector to use the SD card with your computer if you don’t have one built-in. NOTE – the Wio Terminal only supports SD cards up to 16GB, it does not support higher capacities.
24 hand-on lessons across 6 real-world projects
Please visit GitHub Repository and have the full view of the course.
Every lesson contributes to one of 6 real-world projects. Each project is based on real-world hardware available to students and hobbyists. Each project looks into the specific project domain, providing relevant background knowledge in addition to getting hands-on developing the solution.
This allows students to think about their IoT solutions and learnings in the context of the kind of real-world problem that they might be asked to solve as an IoT developer. Students learn the ‘why’ of the solutions they are building and get an appreciation of the end-user.

Teaching and Learning Tips
For Teachers, we have included some suggestions on how to use this curriculum. If you would like to create your own lessons, we have also included a lesson template.
For Students, to use this curriculum on their own, fork the entire repo and complete the exercises on your own, starting with a pre-lecture quiz, then reading the lecture and completing the rest of the activities. Please create the projects by comprehending the lessons rather than copying the solution code; however, that code is available in the /solutions folders in each project-oriented lesson. We also suggest you form a study group with friends and go through the content together.
For further study, we recommend Microsoft Learn.
