Getting Started with the Raspberry Pi Pico and Machine Learning
In this sessionwe will introduce the Raspberry Pi Pico development boardbased on the low-costhigh-feature RP2040 microcontroller. We will explore the Pico board features and why the board is well suited for machine-learning applications. Attendees will walk away understanding the Pico board and the fundamentals of machine learning on microcontroller-based devices.

Collecting Sensor Data Using Edge Impulse
Before a developer creates a machine-learning modelthey must first collect the data used by the model. This session will explore how to connect and collect sensor data using Edge Impulse. We'll discuss how much data to collect and the various options for doing so. Attendees will walk away understanding how to prepare their data for training and eventual deployment to the Pico.

Designing and Testing a Machine-Learning Model
With sensor data now collecteddevelopers will now want to use their data to train and test a machine-learning model. In this sessionwe will use the data we gathered in the previous session to train a model. Attendees will learn how to train a model and examine the training results in order to get the desired outcomes from their model.

Deploying Machine-Learning Models and Next Steps
In this sessionwe will use the model we trained in the last session and deploy it to the Raspberry Pi Pico. We'll investigate several methods to deploy the model and test how well the model works on the Raspberry Pi Pico. Attendees will see how to deploy the model and learn about the next steps for using the Raspberry Pi Pico for machine-learning applications.
