About This Course

Join NVIDIA® and iD Tech as you delve into the latest AI technology with the Jetson Orin Nano™. At the end of your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to share your final project with NVIDIA® and earn an official certificate of completion.

Integrate Linux and Python coding with machine learning datasets and cutting-edge NVIDIA® hardware. You’ll build image recognition models that can identify objects or track poses and movement on your Jetson Orin Nano™. In this two-week academy experience, you’ll gain insights into how machine learning shapes the future of technology, and it culminates when you submit your final project directly to NVIDIA®. Successfully completed projects will receive an official certificate on the last day of camp, and you’ll take your Jetson Orin Nano™ home with you to continue your work. Take this unique opportunity to develop the skills and experience for a college education or career in AI and machine learning!

Scholarships available based on need.

AI Usage
Students will utilize several machine learning datasets and tools to explore AI concepts and develop their own models. Data is stored locally, and projects run directly on the Jetson Orin Nano™ using TensorRT and Jetson Inference.

You'll learn to:

  • Develop a project and submit it to NVIDIA® for official review and certification
  • Understand key machine learning and computer vision concepts
  • Explore and develop programs incorporating artificial intelligence
  • Leverage top-quality machine learning libraries with the Jetson Orin Nano™
  • Practice Python coding and distributed computing

Course Format 

This course is part of an intensive 2-week summer program running Monday through Friday (overnight at most locations with the option to stay the weekend within the two weeks). Your teen will learn in a lab on an inspiring university campus with a balanced daily schedule of assignment-driven workshops and outdoor/recreational activities. Courses are led by experienced instructors in a small-group setting. Learn more below. 
 

Sample Schedule

In this course, students will explore Python coding and neural networks with the NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™.

Here’s a sample of what each week in the course could look like! Please keep in mind that students will progress at varying paces; this is a general outline of key material and the overall student experience.

Begin exploring Python and Linux with the command line! Once students’ Jetson Orin Nanos are set up, they’ll be ready to dive into neural networks and data collection. Students will explore NVIDIA’s Jetson Inference LIbrary and build an image recognition program using custom Python code.

Now that they’ve mastered machine learning basics, students will push further with more projects and tutorials from NVIDIA and iD Tech—including training classification models. Students will train models to identify different objects in images, such as cats vs. dogs. To wrap up the course, they’ll develop and present a final portfolio piece complete with documentation.

Students will have the opportunity to submit their project directly to NVIDIA and receive an official certificate.

Portfolio-Boosting Diploma & Transcript

Upon completion of this course, NVIDIA will review each student’s final project to determine eligibility for the certificate. This certificate signifies students’ hard work and skills gained and is a valuable asset that will help them stand out to colleges and future employers.

FAQ

iD Tech Academies offer intensive, assignment-driven programming workshops in various course topics including machine learning, virtual reality, game development, robotics, and more. Programs are designed to be a rigorous, pre-college experience that provides industry insights for teens interested in pursuing STEM fields in college or as a career.

All graduates will leave their academy with a portfolio tailored to their course topic - which is invaluable for college applications, internships, and jobs - along with their iD Tech Diploma. 

In the coming years, many companies like DeepMind and OpenAI hope to solve general artificial intelligence, which is a term for an AI that can learn and perform any task put in front of it. This breakthrough is likely still years in the future, but it has the potential to revolutionize how human beings interact with technology, the job market, and society in general.

In the shorter term, machine learning has practical business applications like analyzing large volumes of data, powering self-driving vehicles, and assisting medical diagnoses. As AI research advances, the number of tasks it can perform will only increase. Companies are already desperate for AI experts and aggressively hiring those with expertise in the field.
