About This workshop
This immersive workshop delves into the practicalities of setting up Internet of Things (IoT) sensor arrays in Wyoming's unique alpine and remote landscapes. Participants will acquire skills in selecting appropriate low-power hardware, configuring LoRaWAN communication protocols, and implementing solar-powered solutions for long-term deployment without grid access. The curriculum covers everything from sensor calibration for environmental data collection—such as temperature, humidity, and air quality—to secure data transmission and basic dashboard visualization. Attendees will engage in hands-on activities, including assembling sensor nodes and simulating remote data acquisition scenarios relevant to conservation, agriculture, or infrastructure monitoring in challenging, off-grid locations.
