Hello, I’m Kate Malcolmson! I’m from Wexford. I have recently completed my undergraduate degree in University College Dublin studying Biology, Mathematics and Education. I am now doing the Msc Mathematics and Science Education course in UCD. 

My time at Intel working alongside the Movidius VPU Group will have a lasting effect on my teaching career. I gained valuable insight into the STEM industry and developed many new skills. Having had the chance to explore various coding projects over the summer I now hope to gain further qualifications that will enable me to teach computer science. I can’t wait to bring all that I have learned from this internship into my future classrooms. I hope to inspire my students to explore STEM and get to know the STEM industry just as this internship has inspired me.

Intel is one of the largest semiconductor chip manufacturers globally. Intel has an extensive product portfolio that includes the design and manufacture of CPUs, VPUs (Vision Processing Units) and other devices related to communications and computing. The Movidius division is part of Intel’s Internet of Things Edge AI Group that specializes in Artificial Intelligence and Vision technology for edge applications. Movidius owns the development of Vision Processing Unit (VPU) Intellectual Property and VPU System on Chips. Movidius is currently a global leader in edge inference and their products include Myriad 2, Myriad X and Keem Bay. Since 1989, Intel has invested $15 billion in Ireland creating the most advanced industrial campus in Europe. Today, alongside advanced manufacturing, Intel in Ireland has come to represent a diversity of activities across the spectrum of Intel business from cutting edge research to design.
