The rapid growth of inexpensive and easily accessible communicating devices embedded into new or existing physical devices transform them into the intelligent devices that comprise the Internet of Things (IoT). The increasing use of these devices has attracted attention from various sectors, including consumer market, business, industry, health, government, education, research, and many others. In educational sectors, many institutions are exploring the advanced digital infrastructure applications to improve the learning and teaching abilities of the difficult subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). IoT devices in the classroom or in laboratory activities can enhance the learning process with innovative ideas to increase student motivation in much faster and effective ways. In addition to using IoT to enhance the educational process, IoT serves as an important topic of study. IoT education consists of diverse components including hardware, software, programming, and electronics. How IoT is incorporated into the curriculum is based on the programmatic objectives. For non-engineers, non-coders, and many others, IoT courses need to be designed and delivered in a different way than would be done with engineering, engineering technology, and computer science majors. This paper will discuss the use of widely available educational IoT kits that could be used for beginners or non-majors.
