Taking on the Presidential AI Challenge
Powered by JPO
JPO’s brand-new program empowers students ages 8–18 to become confident leaders in the age of innovation and artificial intelligence.
This fall and winter, students will work in small, age-based teams to explore how AI can tackle real-world community challenges—combining creativity, leadership, and cutting-edge technology.
In August, the White House announced the Presidential AI Challenge, and we’re thrilled to bring this exciting opportunity directly to our students.
Guided by top-tier coaches, students will:
Learn the fundamentals of AI and how it can solve real world problems
Develop and refine proposals or functional solutions for community problems
Gain confidence pitching ideas and telling your story
Write and polish your story
Potentially compete in the Presidential AI Challenge for the chance to be recognized at the state, regional, and even national level in Washington D.C..
