Melania Trump Launches Super Intelligence Challenge for K-12 Students

US First Lady Melania Trump has announced the 2027 Presidential Super Intelligence Challenge, inviting K-12 students across the country to develop projects addressing real-world problems using Super Intelligence technology.

Scope and Purpose of the Competition

The 2027 Presidential Super Intelligence Challenge has been established as a nationwide competition for K-12 students across the United States. The competition aims to have young people use this technology to generate solutions to societal and practical problems.

SI Readiness Seal for Schools

Participating schools can earn the new First Lady Seal of SI Readiness by completing milestones that demonstrate they are preparing their students and educators to responsibly understand and use the technology.

Previous Year's Success and Future Vision

This new competition follows the inaugural challenge, which saw participation from more than 20,000 students across 50 states and US schools abroad. The First Lady emphasized the importance of the younger generation for the nation's future security and leadership.

Registration Process and Terminology Change

Registration for the competition will remain open until December 18, 2026. The use of the term Super Intelligence in the competition follows a series of executive orders by President Donald Trump mandating this phrase be used in official documents instead of artificial intelligence.
