What is Education at Monash DeepNeuron?
The Education Branch in MDN aims to raise awareness and generate excitement within young minds so that they may establish a more informed insight into the world of DL and HPC.
This can involve things such as running workshops, holding events, crafting resources and creating content.
Within Education, you'll learn how to clearly articulate technical concepts relating to AI and HPC, alongside the tangential skills necessary to do so in an engaging, exciting way.
Why does Education at MDN Exist?

The purpose of this book is to provide clear and concise learning resources that you can utilise effectively; not just in your role at Education, but for the entirety of your time at Monash DeepNeuron and beyond.
What are you going to learn?
During your Education training, you are going to learn key Education concepts and various tools that exist that allow us to conduct our operations as Education at MDN.
You will begin by learning about the philosophy behind our educational approach at MDN.
