The document summarizes a FIWARE bootcamp held with computer engineering students at the University of Salento in Italy. The bootcamp aimed to teach students big data management and have them develop smart city applications using distributed architectures and FIWARE technologies over 5 weeks. Students worked in teams to create projects like a smart mobility hub, IoT simulator, and smart energy meter as a service. The bootcamp helped students improve their skills in developing applications and defending their work.

Background
▪ In Engineering classes hands-on activities scale up learning effectiveness
▪ At University of Salento Computer Engineering classes involve students in challenges (i.e.
hackthons), hand-on workshops, project works as part of the course.
▪ In Ms.C. classes industrial partners are involved in hands-on workshops to advance soft skills
capabilities like public speaking, team work, time management

Conclusion
▪ Students were proficient in developing small
applications and were challenged to defend their
work in a public context
▪ We are planning a new edition, where the
bootcamp will be parallel to the class with a final
challenge among students who will develop a
data service on a topic agreed with Meditech
