allowed them to understandand use an internet Broker for Publishing and Subscribing. They were able to accomplisha number of embedded sensor and actuator experiments by modifying/creating programsfor the Texas Instrument’s CC3200 Launchpad coupled with BoostXL SensorPack.These capabilities were then integrated into a complete system using the Cayenne web-based Dashboard for display and decision making/control of their IoT systems. The workfocused on the IoT kits that each teacher constructed during the workshop. As shown inthe figure, the IoT Kit consisted of the following items:  Battery pack  Motion Sensor  Relay/AC Outlet  LaunchPad/BoostXL SensorPack  3D Printed Enclosure  H-Bridge Driver  DC Motor

, an integrated silicon chip that includes the basic modulation circuitry and a non-volatilememory. The RF carrier signal is transmitted by the reader (forward link) at the hoppingfrequency band of 902-922 MHz. When the RF field reaches the tag it couples with the tag’santenna coil and consequently an AC voltage is generated across the coil. This voltage isrectified to supply power to the tag. As the tag is activated it starts to transmit back the codedinformation stored in its memory (reverse link) to the reader, using backscattered modulationtechnique, where it is decoded and retrieved [8][9].
