The IoT Gurukul Initiative

Update:-

Hi Everybody

Thanks to everyone who has responded to this IoT Gurukul initiative by RSVPing for this meetup. The goal of this edition of the meetup is to kickstart a discussion towards a new thought process of imparting education in the technology space which is inspired by our ancient education system of India, based on the Gurukul system.

IoT is at a cusp where a lot of new ideas are emerging and the cost of building a prototype with hardware / software based tools is coming down. However, there is this huge learning curve due to the true heterogeneous nature of IoT based solution and its associated challenges.There is also a huge deficit of quality learning interventions which makes someone capable of designing their own product rather than earning a certificate to prove their merit for a job placement.
We want to embark upon a learning journey which is purpose driven. And that purpose has to be decided by you, the learners. What do you want to learn should depend on your purpose and the purpose should have a clear tangible definition centered around the creation.

We want to make sure that you as a learner can follow a path of independent learning guided by a mentor, discovering concepts and experimenting with hypothesis along the way, until you unveil your creation to the world. We want to do it by following the most innovative learning interventions available to us and molding it in the ancient system of Gurukula, to enable future education in the ancient way.
In order to facilitate this new way of learning, we would like to conduct a short survey.

Please spare 2 minutes of your time to participate in this survey and provide your valuable feedback. Your feedback is very important to us and we'll design the experience of the meetup based on your feedback.

========================================================

Inviting all IoT enthusiasts to be part of a meetup to discuss and propose a structured learning program called "IoT Gurukul". IoT Gurukul is a discovery-driven, self-learning program for all engineers and tech geeks who want to get their hands dirty and build something interesting using IoT. It will be a medium-term engagement conducted virtually , and under the guidance of an industry profession, to assist the participants to achieve their intended goals.

The Gurukul's charter will be to assist the participants in realizing their vision through a self-actualization process, rather than following the standard curriculum based teaching. To be eligible for this program, the participants should have a goal in mind which has to be in the form of being able to create or build something such as

So if you have an idea around solving some problem with IoT, or if you are working on enabling IoT in a unique way, then we want to hear from you and engage with you in this discussion.

In case of any concern / suggestion / doubt, please let us know.
