About This Course

Get into Python, machine learning, computer vision, and neural networks with the NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™. You'll have a small computing powerhouse, a webcam, and the resources to push Python further than ever before. Train the machine to train itself, and it will be recognizing image features before you know it. Cat or croissant? Labradoodle or fried chicken? Healthy body or early cancer detection? As you progress through cutting-edge projects from both NVIDIA and iD Tech, you'll see how starting with the Jetson Nano for your machine learning journey can lead to insights and even breakthroughs in AI, robotics, and advanced engineering fields. From detecting objects in pictures and recognizing actions, to creating code that can react to different visual stimuli, you'll build a portfolio that will leave a lasting impression—and you'll gain an official certificate from NVIDIA. Upon completion of this program, NVIDIA will review each student’s final project to determine eligibility for the certificate.

Sample Schedule

Sessions 1-5: Beginning Machine Learning

Begin exploring Python with iD Tech while you get ready for your Jetson Nano to arrive. Once your Nano is delivered, you'll be well versed and ready to dive into more advanced content. From booting up the Nano and using Linux to delving into image classification projects from NVIDIA, you'll get a sense of how far you can go.

Sessions 6-10: Image Recognition and Classification

Now that you’ve established machine learning basics, you’re ready to push further. You'll explore more projects with tutorials from NVIDIA, learning about image recognition, training classification models, and detecting objects. With supporting lessons from iD Tech, you’ll get the most out of your experience and showcase your skills with an impressive final project. When that's ready, you'll send it to NVIDIA. Once it's approved, you'll get your certificate.
