In 15 minutes from training to inference on the edge

The challenge

Starting from scratch, teams have 15 minutes to collect data, train a model, optimize it, deploy it to an MCU, and run live inference.

The entire pipeline — data capture, training, quantization, flashing, and execution — must occur within the time limit.

How to win the challenge

  • Complete pipeline within 15 minutes
  • Meets predefined accuracy target
  • Fits within strict RAM and Flash limits
  • Stable live inference demonstration

Bonus: Fully automated toolchain.
