Hands on Cisco Packet Tracer: Internet of Things (IoT)

Are you curious about how smart homes, connected offices, and intelligent cities actually work? Want to gain real, hands-on experience with the Internet of Things (IoT) — without needing expensive hardware? This course is your perfect starting point.

“Mastering IoT with Cisco Packet Tracer” is a beginner-friendly course designed to take you on a journey through the world of smart devices, automation, and IoT systems — using Cisco’s free network simulator, Packet Tracer.

We start with the fundamentals of IoT: What is it? Why does it matter? How is it changing the world?

Then, we move into practical simulation labs where you’ll build and automate environments including:

• Smart Homes – Controlling lights, doors, fans, alarms, and more
• Smart Offices – Automating workplace devices for efficiency and security
• Industrial IoT – Using sensors and actuators like factories do
• Smart Cities – Simulating traffic systems, streetlights, and public safety devices

You’ll also learn to work with IoT Controllers, Microcontrollers (MCUs), and Single-Board Computers (SBCs), and get hands-on writing simple Python scripts to bring your smart environments to life.

Whether you’re an aspiring network engineer, IT student, or tech enthusiast, this course helps bridge the gap between traditional networking and the future of connected systems.

By the end of this course, you’ll be confident in simulating and explaining real-world IoT scenarios, and you’ll have projects you can show off in interviews or coursework.

All you need is a basic computer and an interest in learning. Let’s build the future — one smart device at a time.
