  Introduction to the course

  
  

  
  

  This course has been created in order to show my students that they now have the possibility to collect data from a physical environment and that they can push those data within a digital environment. This course is mostly intended for makers or at least to develop a maker philosophy. This course is not designed by an engineer so do not expect everything to be 100% perfect.

  I really hope you will enjoy it.

  
  

  This course could not have been done without the endless help of Lukas Winkler. Thank you so much Lukas.
