The Georgia Institute of Technology and computer hardware manufacturer NVIDIA are joining forces to provide undergraduate students with access to an AI supercomputer. Georgia Tech officials unveiled its new AI Makerspace, which the school says is the first of its kind in the nation, loaded with 3D printers and a sea of servers.

NVIDIA’s graphics processing units (GPU) have been used in artificial intelligence programs crafted by notable companies like OpenAI, Alphabet and Meta.

Students can use the AI Makerspace to complete projects related to robotics and supply chain management. NVIDIA will support and train faculty and students through workshops, certifications and teaching kits.
