Educational DE 10 Hardware Request

My name is William Kleitz. I am a retired educator and the author of several digital electronics and FPGA textbooks published by Pearson Education. My 9th Edition textbook, which focuses heavily on Altera hardware and the Quartus software environment, has long been used in engineering programs and can be found on Amazon at - Kleitz- Digital Electronics Textbook. My YouTube videos can be found by searching Bill Kleitz VHDL

      ​I am currently coming out of retirement to develop a brand-new series of high-quality YouTube video tutorials and educational resources. My goal is to introduce the next generation of students and makers to modern digital design using the latest versions of Quartus Prime Lite.

​ However, I have hit a hardware roadblock. The only development platforms I currently own are the original DE0 and DE0 Nano boards. Because these boards rely on the legacy Cyclone II chip, they are no longer supported by modern versions of Quartus, preventing me from recording up-to-date, relevant software workflows.

​ To create this new curriculum, I would like to feature a modern, student-friendly platform. I am writing to ask if your university or academic relations program would be open to donating a newer DE10-Lite development board (featuring the MAX 10 FPGA) to support this educational initiative.

      ​In return, your hardware will be the primary platform featured throughout my upcoming video series, exposing thousands of self-taught developers and students directly to your ecosystem.

​Thank you very much for your time, consideration, and continued support of engineering education.

Warm regards,

​William (Bill) Kleitz
