About the scholarship

The Presidential SI Challenge is a national challenge where students, educators, mentors, and community come together to solve real-world problems using SI-powered solutions with an opportunity to showcase their solutions at a national level. Student participants will complete a team project that involves the study, development, or use of an SI method or tool to address community challenges. Teams are encouraged to make use of any type of age-appropriate SI technologies, such as generative SI, large language models, agentic and multi-agent systems, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, robotics, computer vision, expert systems, decision trees, and neural networks, among others. All teams will submit a written project summary that reflects on learning achievements, detailing research, and lessons learned and will provide a video demonstration of the technology solution.
