An interactive Workshop on IoT concepts and Implementation- IoT using Arduino was conducted on 8th May 2026 at Vikas Bharti Public School under the ATAL Saarthi Initiative of NITI Aayog. The session was delivered by Deepika, Assistant Professor and IIC Convener, JIMS Sector-5 Rohini. Students from Classes VI to XII actively participated in the workshop with great enthusiasm and curiosity.
The workshop introduced students to the fundamentals of the Internet of Things (IoT), real-world IoT applications, IoT lifecycle, smart city concepts, and the role of Arduino in developing intelligent systems. The session also covered emerging technologies such as the integration of AI and IoT for smart automation and decision-making.
A major highlight of the workshop was the hands-on practical demonstration using Arduino and sensors. Students explored Arduino IDE, coding basics, gas sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and circuit design through interactive activities and simulations. The participants were encouraged to experiment with code editing and circuit tinkering, which enhanced their creativity, logical thinking, and practical understanding of embedded systems.
Real-life applications such as smart homes, smart irrigation systems, traffic management systems, health monitoring, and home security solutions were also discussed to help students understand the relevance of IoT in everyday life. The workshop successfully inspired students toward innovation, technology learning, and problem-solving using IoT and Arduino platforms.
