The Norse IoT club is focused on student-led research and projects concerning Internet of Things devices and applications. We hope to foster a community for students, faculty, alumni, and industry professionals who are enthusiastic about the opportunities IoT has to offer.
The purpose and objectives of the club are to:
Club members will create hands-on projects with a variety of technologies, such as microcontrollers, sensors, networks, motion, and visual displays.
Students from all courses of study at NKU are welcome. No technical experience required. The club prioritizes projects that are transdisciplinary, because IoT touches every aspect of lives.
Listen to a podcast episode with the founding sponsor and students discuss how and why the club was formed.
