Community – Machine Learning Systems

Community

GLOBAL NETWORK

AI engineering education
belongs to everyone.

Machine Learning Systems is taught at universities across five continents, from Bogotá to Johannesburg, from Kobe to Nairobi. Every chapter and lab is open and free, and we ship hardware kits to partner universities that need them.

"This was the first time our students could run a neural network on real hardware they could hold in their hands. That changes how they think about ML — it's not abstract anymore."

"Before this curriculum, our students had no way to learn ML systems with real hardware. The kits and course materials changed what we could teach."

How We Reach Learners

Every chapter is free to read, but access means more than a URL. It means hardware, training, and showing up in person.

Hardware Where It Is Needed

We ship real hardware (Arduino and Seeed edge devices) to partner universities that could not otherwise afford them. Students learn on real silicon, not just simulations.

Workshops on the Ground

The annual SciTinyML workshop series at ICTP in Trieste brings researchers and students together to apply ML to scientific challenges, from environmental monitoring to health diagnostics. Regional editions run across Latin America and Africa.

Instructor Support

Partner universities receive curriculum materials, lecture slides, and mentorship. The TinyML4D network connects educators across institutions so no one is teaching alone.

Free and Open, Always

The textbook is free to read online. The edX Professional Certificate reaches hundreds of thousands of learners. The textbook is free under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, and the teaching materials under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
