Presidential AI Challenge for Grades K-12

Artificial Intelligence is developing rapidly and is certain to transform our society—and the future of today’s students. Mastering AI skills will be essential for career success. In early September 2025, the White House announced the The Presidential AI Challenge which seeks to inspire young people and educators to create AI-based innovative solutions to community challenges while fostering AI interest and competency.

Read on to explore how you can start learning AI, get details about the Presidential AI Challenge, and join our free information event to learn more.

We’re excited to support students in this competition by offering mentoring classes for building AI projects with Python. You can join one of our pre-scheduled sessions or request a custom class that fits your schedule.

About Presidential AI Challenge (https://www.ai.gov/initiatives/presidential-challenge)

  • Only U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents are eligible to enter the competition.

  • Submission deadline: Jan 20, 2026.

Who Can Participate

  • Elementary (K-5): Groups/classrooms with an educator or community leader.

  • Middle School (6-8): Teams of 1–4 students + supervising adult.

  • High School (9-12): Teams of 1–4 students + supervising adult.

  • Educators: 1–3 teachers (public, private, homeschool, or DoD/overseas schools).

Tracks of Participation

  • Track I (Proposal): Written AI project proposal for a community problem.

  • Track II (Implementation): Functional AI-based solution (app, website, process, etc.).

  • Track III (Educators): Teaching AI concepts in innovative ways or creating AI classroom tools.

Our mentoring classes focus on helping students to create a functional AI based solution. The first couple of sessions will focus on coming up with an idea and defining key features. The remaining sessions will focus on building the solution. For best use of class time, we recommend students spend as much time as possible in between sessions to build the project, and use class time to work with teachers on any issues they might have and/or brainstorming new features. We are here to support you!

If you would like to build your projects using a platform other than Python or you are in grades K-4, we can arrange private classes for you. Contact us at support@createandlearn.us.

Develop AI Skills with Fun AI Classes

There are many ways to explore, use, and build with AI. You can use ChatGPT or Gemini by Google, create AI arts, code your own computer vision system or chatbot apps, and more. Most coding platforms can be used to create AI projects as well. Python is the most popular one. Thunkable (for Mobile), Roblox, App Inventor, and Scratch all have AI capabilities also. Check out these classes to learn more and create with AI.
