In this course, you will develop an interactive Raspberry Pi device that communicates with other devices across the internet. This opens up a wide range of possibilities, like building one Raspberry Pi that fits in your pocket and communicates via the internet to another Pi at home, which could be monitoring the cats, your front door, or the weather. For the final project of this course, you will build one such system: an internet-connected doorbell –an entry into the world of Internet of Things.

The course brings together all the skills you have studied in previous courses as you experience the complex process of designing, prototyping, and debugging a system with distributed, networked components. You will experience the process of moving a device from conception to full functionality, with all the internet connectivity expected of marketable devices today, setting you up for success in your future projects.
