This collection of STEM clubs teaching materials are designed to help students discover how communities can put measures into place to make sure people and properties are safe, and look at how the IoT can bring additional benefits to this safety.
This collection of mathematics teaching materials are designed to help students discover how the Internet of Things (IoT) can connect the everyday objects around us, whilst exploring a number of mathematical concepts.
Single-lesson one-hour activities, as well as more extended five-hour activities, are available. No previous knowledge of IoT is required, and no additional equipment is needed.
What is the Internet of Things (IoT) and how can it help firefighting in the future? These activities explore how design can improve the equipment that fire fighters use, improving safety for both the general public and the fire fighters themselves.
The single-lesson one-hour activity requires no previous experience of the Internet of things and comes with the introductory material to explore the topic with the class. The extended five-hour activity supports students to explore prototyping their own product, using their own research of fire fighting equipment to develop Internet of Things design ideas and prototypes.
Science Resource
The Internet of Things (IoT) is already impacting on fire safety in areas such as fire prevention, detection and suppression, and firefighter safety. Connectivity of devices allows for integration into other smart systems too, utilities management the potential for saving lives is huge.
Programme code runs on individual devices and as cloud applications, with data sent to and from machines and humans alike. These introductory activities explore the design of algorithms that span the internet of things, and consider the hardware components that comprise it.
No previous programming experience is required, and no equipment is necessary – although students may wish to extend their investigations through tinkering or prototyping using low-cost computing devices.
