ONE-DAY WORKSHOP ON IOT SENSORS

Date: 30 June 2026

Time: 09:30 AM – 01:30 PM

Venue: II MCA Classroom

Resource Persons: Mr. Badhusha Shaji, Mr. Nikhil T. Das, Mr. Arjun Krishna, Mr.Abhishek

The PG Department of Computer Applications successfully organized SensorSync – A One-Day Workshop on IoT Sensors on 30 June 2026 from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. The workshop aimed to provide students with practical knowledge of the Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems, sensors, and cloud-based IoT platforms through interactive sessions and hands-on activities.

The distinguished resource persons for the workshop were:

Mr. Badhusha Shaji – Co-Founder & CEO, DevMorphix IT Solutions | Senior STEM Educator | Embedded System Developer

Mr. Nikhil T. Das – Founder & CEO, Circuitbay | Senior STEM Educator | Hardware Maker

Mr. Arjun Krishna – Co-Founder & CEO, DevMorphix IT Solutions

Mr. Abhishek – Co-Founder & CEO, DevMorphix IT Solutions

The workshop was coordinated by Ms. Kochumol Abraham.

The program commenced with a warm welcome to the resource persons and participants by Ms. Riya George, who introduced the guests and highlighted the importance of IoT technologies in today's connected world.

The first technical session was handled by Mr. Badhusha Shaji, who conducted an engaging ice-breaking session to familiarize students with the fundamentals of the Internet of Things. He explained the basic concepts of IoT, its real-world applications, and introduced commonly used development boards such as Arduino and ESP-based microcontrollers. His interactive approach encouraged active participation and helped students understand the foundations of embedded systems.

The second session was led by Mr. Nikhil T. Das, who provided an in-depth explanation of various IoT sensors, their working principles, and their applications in real-world projects. He also introduced students to different IoT development platforms used for building and managing smart systems. During the session, he demonstrated NuroX, an IoT platform developed by his team, explaining how IoT devices can be connected, monitored, and deployed using Cloudflare services for secure cloud-based communication and management. The session offered valuable insights into modern IoT deployment techniques and industry practices.

The final session focused on practical learning through a hands-on workshop using Tinkercad. The resource persons demonstrated virtual circuit design, the use of breadboards, LEDs, and different sensors in electronic circuits. Students learned how LEDs respond under various conditions using sensors and simple programming logic. They also gained practical experience in building basic IoT circuits, understanding breadboard connections, and simulating embedded applications using Tinkercad. This practical exposure enabled participants to connect theoretical concepts with real-world implementation.

The workshop concluded with a feedback session, during which students shared their learning experiences and appreciated the interactive nature of the program. The formal vote of thanks was delivered by Mr. Amal Thomas, who expressed sincere gratitude to the resource persons for sharing their expertise, the program coordinator Ms. Kochumol Abraham for organizing the workshop, the faculty members for their support, and all the students for their enthusiastic participation.

Overall, SensorSync proved to be an informative and engaging workshop that enhanced students' understanding of IoT technologies, sensors, embedded systems, cloud integration, and practical circuit design. The workshop successfully inspired participants to explore further innovations in the rapidly evolving field of the Internet of Things.
