BoodleBox, the collaborative AI platform focused on responsible, human-centered AI in education, has announced a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to integrate pre-trained open models and accelerate AI-powered teaching and learning experiences. The partnership leverages NVIDIA accelerated computing libraries, AI blueprints, and Nemotron open models to enhance platform performance while expanding access to cutting-edge AI in classrooms.
At the center of the integration is NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano, now available as a native AI assistant within BoodleBox, providing hands-on open-model AI experiences to over 800,000 students and faculty. The assistant enables students to explore complex problems, analyze information, and collaborate while giving educators a practical tool to support inquiry-based learning and demonstrate real-world AI applications responsibly.
Bringing Open-Model AI to Real Classrooms
“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.
The integration allows educators to create a classroom-ready AI assistant that can:
- Guide inquiry-based learning and collaborative projects
- Support group work while maintaining oversight of AI outputs
- Demonstrate real-world AI applications in ways that reinforce responsible use
Students gain direct experience with state-of-the-art, open AI models, developing skills increasingly relevant in professional and academic settings.
Multi-User Collaboration and Custom AI Agents
BoodleBox enables co-creation in a shared AI environment, allowing classes and small groups to work together on projects, research, and problem-solving. The platform also allows educators and students to build custom AI bots powered by NVIDIA Nemotron models, extending AI’s utility for teaching, learning, and research.
With the platform’s continuity features, learners can revisit prior work, maintain long-term projects, and deepen understanding over time, using shared knowledge resources, uploaded materials, visuals, code, and data.
Leveraging NVIDIA AI Infrastructure
BoodleBox is expanding its capabilities using NVIDIA AI blueprints and infrastructure on Microsoft Azure, delivering:
- Faster response times and cost-efficient AI operations without specialized hardware
- Domain-specific solutions guided by NVIDIA AI Blueprints, including LLM routing and enterprise retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) principles
- Potential applications in biomedical learning via NVIDIA Clara and physical/engineering AI via NVIDIA Cosmos
As a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, BoodleBox benefits from developer tools, training, and ecosystem support to scale high-performance, collaborative AI in education.
Impact on Teaching and Learning
Since its launch, BoodleBox has seen adoption across 1,300+ institutions, with measurable improvements in student engagement and AI skill-building:
- 83% improvement in student prompting skills
- 87% preference over other AI platforms
- 95%+ reduction in environmental impact
“At Mays Business School, our mission is building a better future through business,” said Arnold Castro, Assistant Dean of AI at Texas A&M University. “Our partnership with BoodleBox, using NVIDIA AI infrastructure and Nemotron open models, empowers students and faculty to deepen learning, expand creativity, and prepare the next generation of principled business leaders.”
Why It Matters
BoodleBox’s integration of open-model AI into secure, FERPA-compliant collaborative workflows demonstrates how enterprise-grade AI can be applied responsibly in education, giving students and educators hands-on experience with the technologies shaping the AI-driven workforce.
