BoodleBox to Accelerate AI Innovation in Education with NVIDIA Nemotron

Collaboration brings GPU-accelerated AI infrastructure and open-source innovation to educational institutions; BoodleBox integrates NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano as native AI Assistant

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BoodleBox, the collaborative AI platform empowering human potential through responsible AI integration, today announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to build on NVIDIA AI infrastructure and integrate pre-trained models to deliver faster, more cost-effective AI experiences for teaching and learning. The collaboration will bring NVIDIA accelerated computing libraries, NVIDIA AI blueprints, and NVIDIA Nemotron open models to enhance platform performance while expanding access to cutting-edge AI capabilities in educational settings.

As part of this initiative, BoodleBox has integrated NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano open model as a native AI Assistant within its platform, bringing hands-on experience with open-model AI to more than 800,000 students and faculty. The integration empowers students to engage directly with state-of-the-art AI technology and develop practical skills with open-source models increasingly used in academic and professional settings. Additionally, educators gain a classroom-ready assistant to support inquiry-based learning, guide group work, and demonstrate real-world AI applications, while reinforcing responsible AI use.

"Integrating NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano helps us accelerate AI innovation in education while keeping collaboration, transparency, and responsible use at the center," said France Hoang, CEO and Founder of BoodleBox. "This collaboration advances our mission to make powerful AI accessible and practical for teaching and learning, so institutions can prepare students for an AI-integrated future."

"BoodleBox is helping prepare the next generation for an AI-powered world by integrating NVIDIA Nemotron open models into their AI assistant," said Joey Conway, senior director of Generative AI Software at NVIDIA. The collaboration enables educators and students to gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art, accurate, and efficient open models.

Comprehensive AI Capabilities for Real Classrooms

With NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano now available in BoodleBox, students and educators can use an open model within a collaborative learning environment designed for classroom workflows. Educators can support inquiry-based learning and personalized instruction, while students can explore ideas, analyze information, and build skills together with Nemotron 3 Nano as an active learning partner.

BoodleBox also offers continuity across learning activities, allowing students and faculty to revisit prior work, develop longer-term projects, and deepen understanding over time. Learners can work with uploaded materials, shared knowledge resources, visuals, data, and code to collaborate on research, analysis, and problem-solving.

With multi-user chat, classes and small groups can co-create in a shared AI environment. Educators and students can also build custom AI bots powered by NVIDIA Nemotron models for teaching, learning, and work. 

Broader Collaboration Highlights
