About the Program

The IoT-Werkstatt (IoT Workshop) is an educational concept developed at the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld of Trier University of Applied Sciences. It focuses on increasing digital competence through practical Internet of Things (IoT) projects. The concept follows a holistic approach combining theory and practice: addressing real-world problems to facilitate algorithmic thinking, using low-cost microcontrollers with WLAN for IoT projects, and employing design thinking to create functioning prototypes. The initiative includes IoT-Hackathons where students develop and implement their own IoT project ideas in teams. The concept uses open-source platforms like Arduino with graphical programming interfaces (Ardublock) to make programming accessible to beginners. Beyond technological skills, the program emphasizes the societal relevance of digitalization and aims to enable students to actively shape the digital future rather than being passive spectators of technological change.
