Edge Impulse, a leading provider of edge machine learning tools, has launched a new university program to jump-start the transition to AI-powered edge and embedded machine learning. Designed to support college-level courses on the subject, the program builds up the future workforce needed to fill these new positions. As part of this program, Edge Impulse has given away over 3,000 Arduino TinyML Kits to schools worldwide, helping to bring cutting-edge technology and instruction to the classroom. In the 2023 launch, the program is taking another step forward with another Arduino kit giveaway and access to their educational content.
Edge Impulse has worked with institutions like Harvard University’s SEAS, The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Arduino, and Nordic Semiconductor to design and build their program. Education partners include world-renowned schools such as UCLA, Purdue, US Air Force Academy, UPenn, University of Helsinki, TU Delft, Trinity College Dublin, University of Sao Paulo, Syracuse University, CU Boulder, UT Austin, Texas A&M, University of Houston, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Georgia Tech, Arizona State University (ASU), Harvey Mudd College, Carnegie Mellon University, and University of Maryland, College Park (UMD).
Prof. Vijay Janapa Reddi at Harvard University remarked, “The future of machine learning is tiny and bright. Edge Impulse makes it easy to onboard learners and helps them get started with embedded ML.” Prof. Marcelo José Rovai at Universidade Federal de Itajubá further noted, “Edge Impulse supported our students in all steps of their edge machine learning projects.” Dr. Orlando S. Hoilett at Purdue University highlighted their commitment to accessible and affordable tools to help the masses understand the machine learning space, while Lt. Col. David M. Feinauer of Virginia Military Institute thanked Edge Impulse for making the machine learning space easier to comprehend for his students.
Edge Impulse is invested in preparing the best and brightest of the next generation for the exciting new roles that are being created for AI-powered edge and embedded machine learning. Applications for their kit giveaway are open until July 16, 2023 and eligible universities can learn more at edgeimpulse.com/university.
