# NIC.cl IoT Workshop : Overview #
## Description of Tools We Use in Class ##
This workshop is a technical introduction to the IoT, using the Python programming language and the LoRaWAN radio protocol. It's meant for people with a network operations or computer science background. If you're here, be prepared to work hard and do some neat things!
This will be a hands-on workshop where participants will work with a partner to configure a working low-power, long-range wireless IoT device and sensors.
Participants will need to have some experience with systems administration or basic programming. They will require a laptop running Linux, MacOS, or Windows, with a free USB port to connect a supplied LoPy device.
