NVIDIA announced on April 29th that it held the 'Build-a-Claw' workshop, a hands-on program for building autonomous AI agents, at Seoul National University on April 28th. This event marks the first instance of NVIDIA expanding an experiential program, originally launched at global developer conferences, into a university academic setting. A forum sharing leadership and career insights in the AI era was also held on the same day.

The 'Build-a-Claw' program was first introduced at NVIDIA GTC 2026 in March and received significant attention from developers at 'Nemotron Developer Days Seoul 2026' in April. Notably, the event at Seoul National University was the first of its kind held at a university worldwide. Approximately 200 students and researchers participated, engaging in hands-on training to build long-running AI agents based on OpenClaw.

Participants also had the opportunity to experience the powerful performance and security of AI agents in an offline environment using the DGX Spark, a personal AI supercomputer. Under the guidance of NVIDIA experts, they installed and executed autonomous AI agents on actual hardware, gaining a deep understanding of the implementation process.

A forum titled 'Leadership in the AI Era: Voices of Women' was held concurrently at Seoul National University. Madison Huang, Senior Director of Physical AI Platform Product and Technical Marketing at NVIDIA, served as a speaker and shared diverse perspectives on the shifts in the AI era, career paths, and leadership during a panel talk with students. Drawing from her non-linear career path—transitioning from a chef and sommelier to an IT leader—Director Huang emphasized that the key to success lies not in aligning one's major with their job, but in upholding personal principles of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and constant reinvention.

NVIDIA stated that through this event at Seoul National University, it aims to expand global developer programs into educational settings and strengthen its connection with next-generation AI talent. The company plans to continue fostering the domestic AI ecosystem and nurturing talent through various future initiatives.
