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 youths 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 development of an AI method or tool to solve a local community
problem. Educators are also invited to participate and focus on creative
approaches to teaching or using 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.
