Who are we?
Howest is a University of Applied Sciences in Flanders offering several bachelor programmes in IT like Applied Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Creative technologies and Artificial Intelligence, Digital design and development, Digital Arts and Entertainment and Bioinformatics. We also have some associate degree programmes like Programming and System and Network Administration.
Description of the project
Our mission is to build a Car with IoT hardware and to control it with your mind. As a minimum a robot will drive forward/stop with your mind while a LED shows the status. At the end of the week we organize a race. We award the best racer and the best designed car.
Goal of the project
Our aim is to bring IT & Design and Multimedia students from different countries and partners together for a project week about the topic of IoT. This event will be organised by the Howest Applied Computer Sciences programme. A certificate of participation for 3 ECTS will be received. At the end of the week, you will present your results but most important you will be having a great international experience.

Profile & prerequisites
Who can join: IT students
Prerequisites: Students should have some basic knowledge about programming, especially functional programming, OO programming and communication. This can be in C or Python as you'll be using Raspberry PI’s. As we will work in multidisciplinary teams, this is not a hard requirement. Although most of the topics will be covered during the week, it’s a good idea to study some topics in advance.
