Foundations of IoT: Internet of Things 2, Student Print and Online Course, 1-year subscription

Introduce high school students to the rapidly expanding world of connected technology with Foundations of IoT: Internet of Things 1 & 2.

Through engaging projects and real-world scenarios, students explore how devices, sensors, microcontrollers, and cloud services work together to build smart systems. 

In Foundations of IoT: Internet of Things 1, students learn the fundamentals of IoT and then proceed to build applications by programming Arduino boards to deploy cloud-connected solutions. This course develops critical skills in coding, digital systems, and data analysis.

Foundations of IoT: Internet of Things 2 is an advanced program that enables students to expand their abilities in designing, programming, and securing connected systems for the real world. Learners explore C++ programming, cloud integration, smart messaging protocols, and wireless sensor network simulation, applying their knowledge to hands-on projects that involve smart homes, cities, and industry.

Using either program or both, students prepare themselves for an exciting career in this emerging technology.

Foundations is an innovative series of titles designed for high school students, each covering a specific area of the digital world. These key features of every Foundations program bring skills to life:

• Clear instruction and active learning: Students thrive in their learning when presented with well-de?ned goals, clear instruction, relevant examples, hands-on activities, and project-based learning.
• Timely and relevant coverage: Content aligns with the latest industry practices, preparing students for future careers.
• Complete teacher support: Educators prepare efficiently with a print teacher’s edition, lesson plans, lesson guides, and pre-built assessments.
• Flexible delivery: Students benefit from a hardbound textbook or use the digital resources complete with an eBook, an adaptive SmartBook®, assessment, videos, and more.

Students using Foundations of IoT: Internet of Things 2 will:

• Advance their IoT skills with C++ programming, Arduino development, and wireless network simulation.
• Explore IoT messaging using MQTT, design secure smart devices, and integrate e-commerce functionality into connected systems.
