IoT with Arduino Cloud: Beginner-Friendly Workshop

Join us for a 2.5-hour, hands-on workshop that introduces you to the world of the Internet of Things (IoT) through Arduino Cloud. This beginner-friendly session will teach you how to connect your projects to the Internet, visualize data in real time, and manage your devices remotely using Wi-Fi.
