Workshops Overview

The Cisco Networking Academy's Emerging Technologies Workshops are short, hands-on experiences--developed in partnership with Cisco DevNet--that expose your students to the latest internet technologies. The traditional networker skillset is evolving from being limited to solving problems using the CLI interface to meeting the opportunities and demands of programmable networks and automation. To meet this opportunity, students learn about new concepts in network programmability and automation, see how they work on real-world equipment, and quickly develop new emerging skills for today’s evolving job market. Furthermore, each 8-hour Workshop is designed as bite-sized learning experiences to be flexibly and easily used to complement your existing learning pathways.

In each Workshop, students learn to work with emerging technologies that are frequently heard only as a series of buzzwords (i.e. APIs, REST, JSON, Python, Git, Postman, SDN, NFV, NETCONF, RESTCONF, Controllers, Orchestration, YANG, YAML, ACI, APIC-EM, Containers, etc.). The Workshop concept is to translate these buzzwords into simple "hello world" type systems integration practice with hands-on experiences. To accelerate the skills acquisition and to support future real-world tasks, students also learn the value of Communities of Practice such as Cisco DevNet, GitHub, StackOverflow. They will join these communities to further learn, collaborate, build, share as active members and start building their online professional presence.

Institutions using Workshops must be aligned with an ASC. On the classroom side, the experience is based on real-world software tools with no additional equipment costs. Students and instructors need computers with Internet access, Google Chrome browser with the JSONView extension, Python 3 installation and the Postman application.

Instructor Training is required for the Emerging Technologies Workshops. There are two options, ITC Academy classes and a self-paced Cisco Instructor Training course. See the ETW Instructor Training Approach document in the resources folder.

Certification and Career Pathways

The Emerging Technologies Workshops provide a good starting point on the journey towards the Cisco DevNet Associate certification. Moreover, expanding existing learning pathways with Workshops increase the relevancy of the students in the job market with new emerging skills in network programmability and automation domain. There is a Certificate of Completion available for each Workshop.

Workshop: Model Driven Programmability

With the increasing size of the modern network and the frequency of changes required by the business, managing and automating networks via a Command Line Interface (CLI) is ineffective and error prone. A new approach, using Model Driven Programmability, enables transactional changes, by defining standardized device models and APIs. This workshop introduces students to device level programmability competencies, to automate configuration and management tasks using standardized YANG device models and using the RESTCONF and NETCONF device level APIs. By going through this workshop, every networking student will benefit in grasping the importance of YANG, as language to “model” a networking device, combined with the robustness of the RESTCONF and NETCONF device level programmability APIs. Students will also experiment and develop Python scripts to manage networking devices at scale, using the Model Driven Programmability approach

Course Overview

The Cisco Networking Academy's IoT Fundamentals curriculum provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the Internet of Things (IoT). It develops foundational skills using hands-on lab activities that stimulate the students in applying creative problem-solving and rapid prototyping in the interdisciplinary domain of electronics, networking, security, data analytics, and business. The student-centric approach translates into the student being able to ideate, design, prototype and present an IoT solution for an identified business or society need.

There are 4 instructor-led courses in the IoT Fundamentals curriculum: Connecting Things, IoT Security, Big Data & Analytics and Hackathon Playbook. Upon completion of each course, the end-of-course survey, and the end-of-course assessment, the student will receive a Certificate of Completion.

The first course, Connecting Things, focuses on identifying, designing, prototyping, and presenting an IoT solution that securely solves a current business or social problem.

The IoT Security course teaches students “White Hat Hacker” skills to perform vulnerability and risk assessment, and research and recommend risk mitigation strategies for common security threats in IoT systems. These skills are highly relevant across IoT and other network architectures in order to discover cyber-security threats before the bad actors do. The Big Data & Analytics course builds on Connecting Things, teaching you how to collect, store, and visualize data obtained from IoT sensors. You’ll develop the ability to extract data and use data analytics to gain insights, an extremely valuable skill to employers.

In the hackathon, you’ll apply the multidisciplinary skills learned in Connecting Things, IoT Security and Big Data & Analytics to identify and solve a real-world problem..

Equipment & Applications

All 4 courses in the IoT Fundamentals curriculum use the Cisco Prototyping Lab as the basis for their hands-on experience. The Prototyping Lab is a set of hardware and software components that enables students and instructors to learn about, to prototype, and to model various IoT, digitization and data analytics solutions.

Cisco Packet Tracer is also used across the curriculum to simulate IoT solutions.

Recommended Background for Students

Instructor Training Requirements

Instructor Training is required for Connecting Things, IoT Security and Big Data & Analytics. There are two options, ITC Academy classes and a self-paced Cisco Instructor Training course.
