Foundations of TinyML
Focusing on the basics of machine learning and embedded systems, such as smartphones, this course will introduce you to the “language” of TinyML.
Applications Of TinyML
Get the opportunity to see TinyML in practice. You will see examples of TinyML applications, and learn first-hand how to train these models for Tiny applications such as keyword spotting, visual wake words, and gesture recognition.
Deploying TinyML
Learn to program in TensorFlow Lite for microcontrollers so that you can write the code, and deploy your model to your very own Tiny microcontroller. Before you know it, you’ll be implementing an entire TinyML application.
MLOps for Scaling TinyML
This course introduces learners to Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) through the lens of TinyML (Tiny Machine Learning). Learners explore best practices to deploy, monitor, and maintain (tiny) Machine Learning models in production at scale.
Introduction to Embedded Machine Learning
This course will give you a broad overview of how machine learning works, how to train neural networks, and how to deploy those networks to microcontrollers using the Edge Impulse Platform.
Computer Vision with Embedded Machine Learning
This course, offered by a partnership among Edge Impulse, OpenMV, Seeed Studio, and the TinyML Foundation, will give you an understanding of how deep learning with neural networks can be used to classify images and detect objects in images and videos.
Introduction to Edge AI
This series of articles and videos will guide you through the various concepts and techniques that make up edge AI.
ArmEducationX: Machine Learning at the Edge on Arm: A Practical Introduction
This course will provide you with the hands-on experience you’ll need to create innovative machine learning applications using ubiquitous Arm-based microcontrollers.
Build and Teach Your Own Course
You can find lots of educational materials on TinyML below. They are all free and open-source for educational uses – we just ask that if you use the materials that you cite them!
We are also trying to track and provide links to others to all TinyML course materials that are created to make it even easier for others to launch courses so we ask that if you create a course based on these materials that you consider posting your materials publicly and sending us a link so we can add it to the table below.
Finally, if you want to be more involved with our effort to help improve access to TinyML educational materials and hardware resources worldwide please check out the TinyML4D working group!
