This is the 3rd annual IoT Design Competition hosted by the IoT Students Club at University of Florida. This competition is sponsored by Texas Instruments, Microsoft, and the Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World. In this competition, teams of 1-4 members design, build, and demonstrate their own IoT Project. Teams will create a video to share with the judges and fellow competitors at the end of the competition.

Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World brings to you a series of e-seminars on diverse topics related to smart and connected systems by renowned speakers from across the globe.

The 2nd annual IoT Design Competition is hosted by the IoT Students Club at University of Florida. This competition is sponsored by Texas Instruments, Microsoft, and the Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World. In this competition, teams of 1-4 members create their own IoT Project in either the hardware or software category.

While IoT, in convergence with artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics, is rapidly changing our lives and society at large, we also face an increasing gender gap in the field of IoT technology and applications encompassing all aspects of research, development and practice. The goal of this workshop is to bring together women leaders from all sectors of IoT and students interested in the field of IoT to promote and enable increasing participation of women and address the gender gap issue in the field of IoT. The workshop is organized by members of the Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World at University of Florida, in collaboration with several other universities in the state of Florida. It will be held virtually and is free to join and open to all with registration. 

Join us for the AI and IoT Workshop Series, hosted by the Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World. This free workshop series will focus on smart manufacturing solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.

  • Learn how the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) Revolution is impacting small and medium manufacturing businesses
  • Get insights and guidance on the applications of AI and IoT tailored to your business from leading researchers at the University of Florida and industry professionals
  • Discuss your specific business needs, questions, and concerns in small breakout sessions

Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) and their convergence with Internet of Things (IoT) are transforming many fields of study. We welcome UF faculty to present their scholarship in a UF interdisciplinary faculty workshop to understand issues in organizations that provide AI services and industries that adopt AI/IoT technology.

This is the 1st annual IoT Design Competition hosted by the UF IoT Students Club. This competition is sponsored by the Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World and Texas Instruments. In this competition team with no more than 4 members participate by selecting one design topic and they will need to build an IoT edge device and demonstrate its functionality. The team is responsible for hardware integration, packaging with custom or off-the-shelf enclosure, communication, and software installation during the competition.
