Weekend workshop at 9:00-17:00 (8 h)

What will you learn?

• You will understand without technical jargon what IoT is: how it collects data, where it is sent, who processes it and what results from it.
• You will learn the whole way of data: from the sensor, through the network (Wi-Fi, 5G, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT), cloud and artificial intelligence, to the decision made automatically.
• You will see how IoT works in practice today: at home, in the city, in medicine, agriculture, energy, logistics and industry.
• You will learn to recognize threats: data leaks, taking over cameras and routers, botnets, attacks on critical infrastructure.
• You will find out what rights EU law gives you, including the Data Act (access to data from your devices) and the Cyber Resilience Act (manufacturers’ security obligations), and the GDPR.
• Build a simple IoT layout in an online simulator without buying hardware.
• You will come out with a practical checklist: how to choose, configure and secure devices at home or in the company.

Dla kogo warsztat?

Anyone who wants to understand the modern electronic world in which they live, not just use it. Especially useful:

• people without technical education who want to consciously use modern devices,
• entrepreneurs and managers who are wondering whether and how IoT can reduce costs or create new services,
• employees of administration, local governments and schools interested in the topic of smart city and digitalization,
• students who are thinking about a career in IT, automation or electronics,
• parents and seniors who want to know what the smart speaker really “hears” and what the camera sees at home,
• IT specialists who want to organize knowledge and look at the topic more broadly, from the business and legal side.

You don’t need to be able to program. We explain everything from scratch, and the practical part can be done step by step with the guide.

Prerequisites

Entry requirements:

• Basic support for computer or smartphone and web browser.
• Curiosity and willingness to ask questions; no technical knowledge required.

Installation requirements:

• Laptop with current browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari etc. ) and internet access; a tablet is also enough.
• Nothing needs to be installed: the practical part we do in a free online simulator.
• Optional: a smartphone with a home network scan app (for example, Fing) to see how many devices are connected to your Wi-Fi.

Host:

Artem Samoilenko:

An AI engineer and cybersecurity specialist with over 7 years of experience in penetration testing, auditing and incident response. He designs and implements solutions based on language models (LLM), RAG architectures and AI agents, from chatbots to business process automation. He has carried out projects in the EU, the UK, Japan, Canada, among others.

Since 2023, as an Expert, he has been supporting the city’s digital transformation in Wrocław’s Centrum Rozwoju Społecznego projects and teaching residents the basics of cybersecurity. He taught classes in network, operating systems, databases and programming in technical. He advises law firms on information security. Among other things, he completed courses of the American agency CISA.

Program

1. The world that “connected.”

A short story from the first connected vending machine with drinks to today's scale, in which there are more devices than people on Earth. Quick survey in the room: how many IoT devices do you have with you and at home? Usually more than you think.

1. How it works – Anatomy IoT.

Sensor, connectivity, cloud, data analysis and operation. What are the differences between Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G and low power networks (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT). Edge computing, or why some decisions are made in the device itself and not in the cloud. The role of artificial intelligence: from data collection to prediction.

1. IoT in practice – examples from Poland and the world.

Smart Home and Standard Matter, Meters and Power Grids, Public Transportation and Parking Lot, Telemedicine and Wearables, Precision Agriculture, Industry and Predictive Maintenance, Logistics and Parcel Tracking. For each example, we ask: who benefits, who pays and who has access to the data?

1. We are building our own IoT system.

In the online simulator, we assemble a simple system: a temperature sensor that sends data and triggers an alarm when you cross the threshold. Each participant gets ready code, so you don’t have to be able to program, just understand what is happening. Who wants, can go a step further and modify the operation of the system.

1. The dark side of – security and privacy.

Real incidents: botnets composed of cameras and routers, attacks on infrastructure, leaks of recordings from homes. What data our devices collect and who they go to. What changes the EU law, the – Data Act, Cyber Resilience Act, GDPR, and what rights the ordinary user has. Exercise: we check how many devices are in our network and which of them can be a weak link.

1. What's next? Future and discussion.

Digital twins, data-managed cities, connected cars, IoT in elderly care. Opportunities in the labour market. Open discussion: where is the line between convenience and control?
