Hi everyone, welcome to the TinyML Community, our official forum for all things TinyML! Here you’ll find lively discussion from friendly TinyML learners, enthusiasts, teachers, and professionals.

The TinyML Community is a place where participants help each other learn more about TinyML, discuss cool project ideas, disseminate know-how, and share opportunities in TinyML. All are welcome, and we want this to be a fun, pleasant experience for everyone.
