IOT in Jan TermStudents also had the opportunity during Jan
Term to take an Internet of Things course with
Janice Canedo. Students created and
programmed a variety of projects including a
smart space heater, a smart carbon monoxide
detector, a smart thermostat, a laser detection
system, a smart switch, a smart light activated
by motion, and a smart flame detector. Students
learned how to design and build circuits,
program sockets, and program a mySQL
database. Students were super sad when two
days of class were cancelled due to bad weather.
Several students are planning to present IOT
projects at Tower Day.

Regional and Super Regional First Lego League
Robotic Competitions in December and January
