tinyML Talks: How A Middle School Girl Solves a Real-Life Challenge Using TinyML: Gas Leak Detection

Machine learning is an advanced field in Computer Science and Mathematics. Experts in data science and machine learning are working hard to bring this to embedded engineers and young programmers so that they can solve some real life problems using ML, more specifically tinyML without being an expert on this field. Once such platform is Edge Impulse which makes building ML model so intuitive that a middle schooler can learn and use for good. Join us in this talk where a 6th-grade student Sashrika Das will explain why and how she built a gas leak detection project using Wio Terminal, Multi-channnel gas sensor, and Edge Impulse Studio. Her device can smell diesel leaking from the tank and alert owner in real time. Sashrika will also share some tips for students her age to get started with tinyML. Meanwhile her dad, Mithun Das will showcase his project Camper which sees animal /human even in the dark using a thermal camera, Wio Terminal and Edge Impulse.
