A couple weeks ago we encouraged everyone to register for a free event pass for the virtual 2021 Arm DevSummit . Now, we are sharing some specific virtual workshops. Why these? First - the tech is awesome; second - Arm is giving away a limited number of interactive hardware kits to turn these virtual workshops into hands-on experiences. We have the opportunity to build the kits and we are super excited about it. Read on for details about each workshop and how to apply for the chance to receive an interactive hardware kit - the deadlines are tight so you need to move fast.
