📘 Book Presentation: Practical Introduction to Tiny Machine Learning

Are you ready to explore the cutting-edge world of Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML)?

This book is a hands-on guide designed for beginners who want to enter the fascinating field of TinyML. You'll learn how to harness Deep Learning techniques to develop Artificial Intelligence models that run directly on microcontrollers — small devices with limited computing resources.

🌍 Why TinyML?

TinyML is a revolutionary technological frontier that brings AI to the Edge — running intelligent models directly on microcontrollers and IoT sensors. This opens up exciting new opportunities in industrial automation, healthcare, agriculture, smart homes, and beyond. By embedding intelligence into small, portable devices, we're transforming how machines interact with the physical world.

🛠️ What You'll Learn

This course-book offers a comprehensive and practical overview of TinyML. Starting with the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense — a key tool for TinyML development — you'll explore the foundations of AI through an engaging, hands-on approach.

You'll learn to:

Understand the basics of Deep Learning

Model and train neural networks

Create and manage training datasets

Validate AI models

Deploy models on microcontrollers

✅ Your First AI Project

You'll build your very first TinyML model — the classic "Hello World" project, where you train a neural network to approximate the function y = sin(x). Once trained, you'll deploy it as a sketch on the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, bringing your AI model to life on hardware.

💻 Tools You'll Use

Google Colab: for coding and training your AI in the cloud

TensorFlow libraries: to build and manage your neural networks

Arduino IDE: to upload your trained model onto a microcontroller
