[Taslug] Hobart LoRa/MicroPython workshop August 17th

[Scott Bragg]

Hi everyone,

As part of National Science Week we're running a workshop about the 
Internet of Things.

Specifically I'll be introducing this ESP32[1] based Micropython[2] 
board which has a LoRa radio[3] and we will spend a couple of hours 
plugging in some sensors and collecting data via a LoRaWAN network.

The workshop only has limited spots so we can ensure everyone gets a 
quality experience. If it proves popular we'll run another workshop 
later in the year or perhaps a follow up workshop with some more 
advanced code.

You can register for the event here:

You can choose either a ticket with or without the kit. If you opt to 
get a workshop only kit then there will be a microcontroller and sensors 
for you to use at the event, but the workshop + kit ticket means you get 
to take the board home with you afterwards.
