Teacher guide

Topic Goals:

Implementing IIoT and Blockchain Application: Students will learn to design and implement applications that connect IIoT devices with deployed smart contracts on existing blockchain networks.
Understanding of the Tools for IIoT and Blockchain Technology Integration: Students will become familiar with some of the tools (e.g. programming libraries), that can be used for the implementation of IIoT and blockchain applications.

Prerequisites for Teachers:

Understanding of blockchain technology.

Experience working with 3D printers and Raspberry Pi microcomputers.

Experience with programming blockchain and IoT-related applications:

implementations of applications in nodejs environment (focus on web3 applications)
implementation of smart contracts in Solidity
