An NVIDIA-powered training stack — engineered for rural use.
A unified curriculum that takes a rural Texan from 'never touched AI' to a Jetson-certified developer in under 20 weeks — fully covered by free education credits and Denton County workforce grants.
Plug-and-play AI workflows for farmers, coaches, schools, and main-street businesses. Free tier forever via mycitymyschool.tech.
NVIDIA DLI courses delivered in-classroom at NCTC and on-demand through MyCitySchool — covered by TWC tuition grants.
Jetson + DGX Cloud lab access for student-built AI products. Graduates feed directly into the Wistron / MyCityMySchool for Sports pipeline.
Four tiers · zero tuition · stackable certs
Each track is a standalone NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute credential. Stack all four to graduate as a Jetson Developer with a paid pilot inside Denton County.

- OTA fleets for rural deployments
- Launch a paid pilot with a Denton County employer
Jetson developer kits
Tracks DLI-301 and DLI-401 are designed around Jetson Orin Nano dev boards and edge cameras. Cohorts either bring their own kit or share lab hardware to complete the on-device portions of the curriculum.
DGX Cloud + DLI notebooks
DLI-101 and DLI-201 run on NVIDIA-hosted GPU notebooks. No local hardware is required — every module ships with the cloud environment pre-configured for the assessment.
How an NVIDIA DLI certificate is awarded.
Register for the DLI course (self-paced or instructor-led). Each track maps to a single NVIDIA-issued credential.
Work through every module and the hands-on lab notebooks. Progress is tracked inside the DLI learning platform.
Submit the in-course assessment or capstone. NVIDIA issues a verifiable digital Certificate of Competency or Jetson Developer credential.
