We had a blast at the launch of the Huddersfield Girl Geeks community on 14.10.17, and took along challenges from our 'Internet of Curious Things' programme for a hands-on session.

The group made connections with the local environment, and used sensors to collect data and visualise through creative lighting displays.

The workshop was focused on teamwork to launch new inventions, with connected health, home, car and smart city projects shared 🙌

September's Raspberry Jam in Leeds saw the workshop focused on LoRaWAN possibilities with a hands-on session to explore new inventions.

Thanks to @fortyfourMu we thought, planned & built #IOT projects and managed to share our data to @thethingsntwrk.

Groups used the Raspberry Pi and Codebug to collect and share environmental data with future nature projects as a favourite community theme.

Fantastic to see how quickly our young coders were engaging with @thethingsntwrk tonight. Interested to hear their thoughts on data projects https://t.co/wvXvI4fd8b
