DESCRIPTION:We are planning to organize a hands-on workshop on the Internet
  of Things (IoT) for pre-university (school level students). This activity
  will be performed at Government Boys Elementary and Lower Secondary Schoo
 l\, Islamkot Tharparkar. This workshop is a dynamic and STEM activity desi
 gned for underprivileged students aged from 11 to 18 years old. The aim of
  this workshop is to bridge the gap of digital divide between the underpri
 vileged and urban pre-university students with opportunities to explore th
 e IoT technological world. Through this hands-on STEM activity\, participa
 nts will develop problem-solving skills which they would eventually use it
  for required application.\n\nDuring the hands-on workshop\, the students 
 will be introduced to a series of activities including the concepts of IoT
 \, sensor interaction\, basics of programming\, how to connect sensors wit
 h Arduino\, data collection and so forth. They will have a chance to inter
 act with some real sensors\, including DHT11 &amp; DHT22 (temperature and humi
 dity sensor)\, infrared sensor\, HC-SR04 (ultrasonic sensor). The series e
 xperiments will be perform using the above sensors and collected data will
  be monitored. Thus\, the student will come to know about how to assemble 
 and program them to collect the data and apply those sensors for various a
 pplications\, i.e.\, healthcare and agriculture to smart cities and enviro
 nmental monitoring. In the end\, we will donate a few IoT sensors and Ardu
 ino (ESP8266 or ESP32) to school for practicing of their students. These s
 eries of activities will open the doors for the students for the potential
  future career in the field of engineering and technology.\n\nGovernment B
