This information comes from the MN Department of Education newsletter for librarians, but I thought there might be some readers who are librarians, community educators or tech/robotics coaches with an interest…

The Presidential AI Challenge is a national challenge where K-12 youth, educators, mentors, and community teams come together to solve real-world problems in their communities using AI-powered solutions, with an opportunity to showcase their solutions at a national level.

The challenge is open to youth teams in kindergarten through grade 12; each team must have a supervising adult such as a parent, mentor, educator, or community leader. Educator teams are also eligible. Registration opens September 2025.

Your library can support the challenge by:

• sharing the challenge with your networks—schools, youth programs, educators, parents, and community leaders.
• encouraging local schools, afterschool and out-of-school programs, or youth-serving organizations to participate and/or support team formation.
• promoting registration via newsletters, social media, and events.
