About This workshop
Mississippi's agricultural landscape is ripe for innovation. This immersive workshop will guide participants through the process of designing, implementing, and analyzing data from IoT sensor networks specifically tailored for pecan orchards. You will gain hands-on experience with microcontrollers like ESP32, various environmental sensors, and learn to integrate them with cloud platforms for data logging and visualization. Furthermore, we'll explore practical AI/ML techniques for predictive analytics on sensor data, enabling optimized irrigation, nutrient management, and early disease detection, ensuring a more sustainable and profitable future for local farmers and tech enthusiasts alike. No prior advanced AI knowledge required, but basic programming familiarity is recommended.
