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.
