First lady Melania Trump will head effort to teach next generation about AI

For the Presidential Challenge, teams of students from K-12 will use AI tools such as large language models, robotics, computer vision, decision trees, and neural networks to solve a community problem by creating a phone app or website.

Prizes range from a Presidential Certificate of Achievement, to Cloud Credits and a $10,000 check. State champions will be announced next March, followed by a national championship in June.

Top teams will be invited to present their work at a three-day showcase in Washington, DC, including the White House.

“The Presidential AI Challenge marks our first step in equipping every child with the knowledge base and tools to utilize this emerging technology,” says Mrs. Trump.
