Presidential AI Challenge
Students and educators can participate in a unique opportunity to advance AI education for American youth! The Trump Administration is launching a year-long challenge for K-12 students across the country to spark interest in Artificial Intelligence, promote creative thinking using AI tools, and demonstrate how AI technology can be used in beneficial ways. Early training and experience in responsible AI use can demystify the technology and support America’s youth in cultivating skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in an AI-driven workforce. Students who join the Presidential Challenge can access training and resources to help them complete a project that can either be a study or the development of an AI method or tool to solve a local community problem. Educators are also invited to participate and explore creative approaches to teaching or utilizing AI technologies in K-12 learning. Participants can choose to enter their projects into a competition for the chance to showcase their work at a White House event next summer. Registration for the Presidential AI Challenge will open to students and educators in late August 2025. Organizations may also pledge their support for advancing AI education for American youths. Find the fact sheet and flyers here: AI Challenge Fact Sheet, Flyer for Students, Flyer for Educators. Visit AI.gov to learn more.
