The ACM XRDS (Crossroads) magazine dedicated its Winter 2015 issue to the Internet of Things (IoT). The editors invited us to write an article about our experience in the Ambient Intelligence course, an elective course open to all the 3rd years students at Politecnico di Torino. During the course, in fact, students learn how to build Ambient Intelligence systems by exploiting contemporary IoT devices and services, with a focus on the end users of their prototypical creations.
The paper "The Ambient Intelligence Course at Politecnico di Torino" provides a brief overview of the course content and methodologies, as well as showcases some of the projects designed and realized by the students during the 2015 edition of the course.
