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.
