Getting Started
Getting Started Welcome! Welcome to Sherlock Holmes & the Internet of Things. This is NOT a traditional online course but instead it is a unique, highly dynamic collaboration. Consider it to be a lab, a virtual studio, an R&D space, a skunkworks, a social sandbox. Over the next 10 weeks, you’ll be stepping into a unique Massive Online/Offline Collaboration (MOOC). Together we’ll be working to design, build, test and create a number of workable prototypes that can be plugged into a series of connected crime scenes around the world. For more information on what we’ll be designing and building please review the RFP (request for prototypes). It details our design constraints and will help to frame the opportunity for you.

Both are working towards similar goals as they build prototypes intended to answer the Sherlock Global Challenge. They come from a diversity ...
