Development of GPU Enhanced AI Education Platforms for K-12 Schools

Recently, with continuous implementation of education reform, AI (Artificial Intelligence) has been included in K-12 (Kindergarten to 12th grade) curricula and AI education is in full swing in China. However, standard, cost-efficient AI education platforms for K-12 schools are still not available. So in this paper, based on Jetson Nano, we developed a GPU-enhanced AI teaching platform including AI learning computers for students to develop AI-related algorithms and applications, AI computer clusters for whole classes, and modular auto-driving cars to run and test algorithms and applications.
