Do you mean like a hardware board for educational purposes? I use the Sipeed Maixduino (or Maix Bit) for my classes. The problem with these boards is there is a lot of esoteric, non-documented items.
For a well documented hardware board, I would look at the Sifive Hifive1 (Rev B).
Since RISC-V is still relatively new, I'm sure more and more boards will start making it to market rather soon.
I think the easiest way to get started with RISC-V is to look at QEMU, which is an emulator. It can emulate the virtio bus, including graphics. I used this in my OSblog: http://osblog.stephenmarz.com which uses an emulated, 64-bit RISC-V CPU.

The RISC-V organization has a list of boards that they recognize here: https://riscv.org/exchange/
