The non-profit 'Teaching Kids Programming' lead Jessica Ellis, along with Lynn Langit, is piloting a new set of courseware. The goal is to introduce middle-school aged children to data science via a fun and engaging IoT environment. To that end, Jessica has created an IoT Farm behind the San Diego TKP classroom. She and Lynn are writing Python courseware to show kids how to connect smarter sensor data from the farm with better food in their stomachs. Come to this talk to understand what it takes to set up an IoT projects, from selecting sensors, to processing the data.
