Preparation
Provide access to The Things Network (TTN) or a similar IoT visualization tool.
Prepare datasets (CSV or real-time feed) for students to use.
Print blank dashboard design templates for sketching layouts.
Delivery Tips
Keep the task visual and creative — Level 3 students engage more with design than with code-heavy tasks.
Encourage diversity in approaches (some may prefer minimal dashboards, others colorful with many visuals).
Monitor group roles: ensure all students participate, not just the most tech-savvy.
