Before applying to participate in the Scratch conference of Bordeaux, I had to choose the format of my contribution. The easiest way was to be in the poster session where you will have a table and will show to people around. The second option, more challenging is the workshop. Challenging because I was expecting to have several operating systems and every computer brings his own surprises. The installation take some time. But, in the end I did not have any problem. The workshop was organized into 2 parts:
1- Introduction to the concept of Internet of things with a live demo of interconnected objects: rain sensor, NODEMCU, home light and an Android device. The goal was to show by real example what we can do with learners.
2- Programming part, where we made a connection to a network in order to control an LED over WIFI.
In practical workshops, there is always surprises but we did not have any one. We got a limitation of time.
The audience was from 3 continents: Africa, Europe and America. It was nice to see all these different people programming together.











I am Adel Kassah, a computer science teacher in middle school from Tunisia. Now, I am working in the UAE (ABU DHABI) I try to promote coding culture in my country and around the world. I run after school club about programming to kids. I teach them how to make their own games, their own Android App. They learn how to program embedded system and Robotics. I also cooperate with association around Tunisia and share my expertise. I develop my own tool or improve existing one. I made several presentation in conferences about Technology and coding. Lately I was interested about the world of Internet of Things. I made a tool TUNIOT that makes easy programming the NODEMCU board.
