Our club's mission
The Norse IoT club is focused on student-led research and projects concerning Internet of Things devices and applications. We hope to foster a community for students, faculty, alumni, and industry professionals who are enthusiastic about the opportunities IoT has to offer.
The purpose and objectives of the club are to:
- Share knowledge and ideas among students, faculty, and industry.
- Establish a playground for IoT & Industry 4.0.
- Develop skills outside of the standard university curriculum.
- Foster an innovative and entrepreneurial environment.
- Partner with industry pros working on real-world practical projects.
- Create an environment for work, tinkering & socializing.
Club members will perform hands-on projects with a variety of
technologies, such as

microcontrollers
(ESP-32)sensors
(LIDAR, ultrasonic, infrared, temperature, humidity, etc.)networks
(Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa)motion
(motors, servos)visual displays
(TFT, OLED, LED, electrochromic)Students from all courses of study at NKU are welcome, no technical experience required. The club prioritizes projects that are transdisciplinary, because IoT touches every aspect of life.
Learn in-demand skills. In a chill, peer-driven setting.
Learning about IoT and working on projects ties all the knowledge you've gained as a student together. IoT projects can involve coding, networking, electrical engineering, 3D design, databases, cloud services, UI, and more. In Norse IoT, you'll work side by side with other students, as you explore the techology you'll use to build the projects only you can dream up.
Build your network. And build your network.
Connectedness matters, to people and digital devices. In n-IoT, you'll gain skills working with other people, while the devices you build learn to work with other devices. In both cases, the information shared makes the network better.
What will you create? Let's find out.
The Norse IoT Club meets Norse IoT meets every Tuesday at 4:30pm and every Wednesday at 4pm in Griffin Hall 350. Projects can be as varied as imagination allows, as n-IoT strives to be a place where students can develop new skills, no prior experience necessary!
Smart people make dumb things smart. Checkmate.
IoT is at the forefront of the 4th industrial revolution. It's changing everything, from manufacturing and supply chain to consumer products like smart cars, solar panels, smart bulbs, and thermostats. But without smart people, these are just dumb devices. Just ask Siri. Or Alexa.
Listen In. We're making waves.
From our appearance on Informatics Cafe to our profile in NKU's own The Northerner, Norse IoT is changing this school. The question is, will you be there to help make it happen?
