Abstract

The world around us is transforming as the field of the Internet of Things is taking over the world faster than we thought. Everyone in the tech industry is building wonderful things with the help of IoT. Smartwatches, smart coffee machines, smart television, smart homes are some of the examples. Building IoT sensor modules with sensors that connect to the internet can be very intimidating for people who have just stepped into the field. Quality components and microcontrollers can be costly too. Components such as proximity sensor, humidity sensor, air pressure sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, flashlight, microphone, speaker, gsm module, wifi module, Bluetooth modules, and many more. But to program these we need to know java or kotlin and mobile application development. With the use of the IoT Everywhere framework and Origin programming language, one can convert any Android smartphone into an IoT device. This helps students of electrical engineering to grasp the idea of programming since it provides a lot of abstraction through simple function calls it can help to introduce programming to school students, it helps students who are fascinated by IoT and who wants to learn the basic of interfacing components or sensors and helps the student who has no access to an actual personal computer learn to program.
