NVIDIA today announced new AI education support for K-12 programs at a White House event to celebrate public-private partnerships that advance artificial intelligence education for America’s youth.
The commitment comes after recent NVIDIA announcements to support AI education and academic research, including a $30 million contribution to the National AI Intelligence Research pilot and a U.S. National Science Foundation partnership in support of academic research. Over the last five years, NVIDIA has invested $50 million in higher education and academic research in the United States.
Pledging $25 million in support with AI education programs, NVIDIA is partnering with Study Fetch and CK-12 — two leading K-12 learning platforms — to tailor the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) and NVIDIA Academy content offerings to meet the instructional needs of U.S. K-12 classrooms.
The NVIDIA effort aligns with the White House executive order Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth, announced in April. Additionally, in support of the executive order, NVIDIA signed the White House’s Pledge to America’s Youth: Investing in AI Education, committing to delivering AI literacy, credentialing and educator enablement.
Supporting America’s Educators in Driving AI Literacy
In the first year, NVIDIA will support curriculum adaptation, platform integration, educator training, institutional engagement and ecosystem-wide outreach.
The NVIDIA DLI program integrations with Study Fetch and CK-12 will make available NVIDIA’s industry-leading training materials to help empower high school educators in applying DLI Teaching Kits.
NVIDIA DLI courses are geared toward teaching professional skills to developers. NVIDIA is partnering with Study Fetch and CK-12, which will curate the course material content for high school students to get hands-on experience with AI, aiming to spark curiosity, build practical skills, and prepare the next generation of job seekers to thrive in the AI-driven economy.
The NVIDIA partnership aims to reach 1 million K-12 students within three years.
Preparing the Next Generation for AI Leadership
The White House initiative and NVIDIA commitments are united on a central mission to drive American leadership in AI.
Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan was announced in July by the White House, supported with executive orders to accelerate federal permitting of data center infrastructure and promote exportation of the American AI technology stack.
Aligned with the White House AI Action Plan, NVIDIA and the U.S. National Science Foundation recently committed $152 million in support to Ai2 for the development of open AI models to drive U.S. academic and nonprofit scientific leadership.
