The first half of 2022 is coming to an end. Many courses covering various topics including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Fundamentals of Programming and the Web, and the new topic area of Quantum Computing are already scheduled.
We will start with a long-planned course on paradigms for algorithms in Edge AI and the new edition of the popular course Crime Scene Internet (in German). We will end with a the year comprehensive packet on the new quantum technologies with sequels on Introduction and Cryptography, two English language courses on Qiskit and Quantum Machine Learning from IBM, and the first part of a course on Quantum Algorithms and their Implementation (in German).
You can also look forward to the exams on Cybersecurity Basics and Web Technologies in September and October 2022.

Anniversary Forum: openHPI celebrates its 10th anniversary! (SAVE THE DATE)
20.10.2022 - 21.10.2022 from 09:00-18:00 and 09:00-15:00 | Target groups: Stakeholders from educational institutions, partners, interested parties, political actors, media, learners
For 10 years, openHPI has helped shaping the future of education through free Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). During the pandemic, online courses became firmly integrated and established in learning-teaching processes. We want to continue this momentum with you. In this openHPI Anniversary Forum, we would therefore like to first take a cursory look back and then invite you to join us and exciting guest speakers to look beyond openHPI and interactively explore how MOOCs can further unfold their potential for individuals, companies and institutions today and tomorrow.
In advance, we would like to conduct a short birthday survey on openHPI with three questions. We look forward to your participation. You can register for the forum here.

Courses
09/07/2022 - 10/26/2022 | 6-8 hours per course week | Prerequisites: High school level math, knowledge of Python, and fundamentals in Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Edge AI combines edge computing with AI technology and has grown rapidly in recent years. Edge AI's ability to run AI on client side offers potential for challenges such as latency, efficiency, and data sovereignty. In this course, you will learn how Deep Model Compression works and which optimization techniques and algorithms traditional Deep learning need to be adapted for Edge AI scenarios. The course is already running, but you can still join and take the course with a certificate of achievement.

10/26/2022 - 12/14/2022 | Prerequisites: none | 3-5 hours per course week | German
Hackers succeed repeatedly in stealing passwords, accessing sensitive company and user data, and thus, in the worst case, paralyzing entire companies. As diverse as the possibilities that the Internet offers its users, so are the points of attack and potential dangers that emanate from the Internet, and that many people are not yet fully aware. In this openHPI course, you will learn the basic concepts of Internet security.

11/09/2022 - 11/22/2022 | 3-5 hours per course week + 1-2 hours for recalculation | Prerequisite: basic understanding of IT, physics knowledge on A-level, Quantum Information and Cryptography - Part 1 (recommended) | German
In this continuation of the course Quantum Information and Cryptography, we introduce another key exchange protocol. This time, the focus is on the physical phenomenon of entanglement, which can be used to process information in a completely new way. Look forward to a closer look at entanglement and its applications, such as in the Ekhard protocol or so-called entanglement swapping.
