A recap of our May 22 bootcamp with the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute
This week, Rose City Robotics welcomed university students and faculty to the Metro Region Innovation Hub for a hands-on Generative AI bootcamp delivered in partnership with the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI). The afternoon brought together aspiring engineers, data scientists, and educators for a practical look at one of today’s most in-demand credentials: the NVIDIA-Certified Associate – Generative AI Multimodal.
What we covered
- 💡 Credential deep dive – Exam domains, structure, and why the certification matters.

- 📚 Exam-prep walkthrough with Dr. Joseph Cole – Study strategies, time-management tips, and real-world applications from our co-founder and CTO.
Why this matters
Hands-on experience with industry-backed tools is the quickest way to turn classroom theory into market-ready skills. By pairing NVIDIA resources with interactive guidance from Rose City Robotics, participants left ready to:
- Build multimodal AI solutions using text, image, and audio data
- Validate their expertise with a globally recognized credential
-
Advance toward careers in robotics, AI engineering, DevOps, and more
