Intel IoT Club

Intel IoT Club held its first industrial training session on Intel DevCloud and Intel OpenVINO Toolkit. During the training, attendees learned about the power of deep learning and its various applications, as well as how to use Intel DevCloud to test the performance of AI models on Intel processors. The training session also covered the benefits of the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit, which enables users to optimize, tune, and run comprehensive AI inference using included development tools. Attendees had the opportunity to see a demonstration of the toolkit in action through a project called “Safety Detection”.

Overall, this training session provided attendees with valuable insights and hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI tools and technologies, helping them to enhance their skills and stay at the forefront of the rapidly-evolving field of AI.

Over 150 students were able to pass the quiz and earn their certification from Intel. This accomplishment represents a significant achievement and highlights the dedication and hard work of these individuals. By earning this certification, they have demonstrated their readiness to take on new challenges and pursue exciting opportunities in the field of IoT.

The Intel IoT Club at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore, hosted their first offline event, Pie & AI – Amrita: Breaking into AI. The event received an overwhelming response, with over 270 registrations and 150 people in attendance.

Deepak has given a comprehensive speech about the importance of joining clubs and extracurricular activities, introduced the benefits of joining the Intel IoT Club, which gives students access to Intel-developed tools like Intel DevCloud and Open VINO and provides industrial exposure in AI, ML, and IoT.
