An opportunity for youth teams to use AI with the building blocks and robotics from Forward Education's Kits to create solutions that make their communities a better place.
Forward Education is excited to announce the launch of our AI for Good Competition — a global challenge that empowers students and educators to design creative, AI-powered solutions that make their communities a better place.
This new initiative invites youth teams to combine AI tools with coding, robotics, and design thinking using Forward Education’s building blocks and micro:bit-compatible kits. Students will explore how artificial intelligence can be used responsibly to solve real-world challenges — from climate action and accessibility to health and sustainability.
A Competition Designed for Impact
The AI for Good Competition is more than just a contest — it’s an opportunity for young innovators to see how technology can be a force for positive change.
-
For Students: A chance to build real prototypes, explore AI through hands-on projects, and apply coding skills to meaningful community challenges.
-
For Educators: A ready-made framework to introduce AI literacy, cross-curricular learning, and responsible technology use in the classroom.
Through this experience, students and teachers alike will gain practical skills in AI literacy, computational thinking, and creative problem solving, while developing a deeper understanding of how technology can help shape a better future.
Training and Support for Educators
We know that bringing AI into the classroom can feel new or unfamiliar — that’s why we’re supporting educators every step of the way.
All participating teachers will have access to:
-
Live, hands-on webinar training sessions led by Forward Education’s team of experts.
-
On-demand video tutorials that guide educators through each phase of the competition, from brainstorming ideas to final submissions.
Whether you’re new to coding or an experienced STEM educator, these resources will help you confidently support your students’ projects while growing your own professional expertise in emerging technologies.
Aligned with the U.S. Presidential AI Challenge
The AI for Good Competition is intentionally aligned with the U.S. Presidential AI Challenge and other emerging AI innovation programs.
This alignment gives participants a unique opportunity to submit their projects to both competitions, expanding their reach and increasing their potential for recognition at national and international levels.
By mirroring global standards for AI literacy and innovation, Forward Education is helping classrooms connect to a larger movement of educators and students using AI to make a difference.
Join the Movement
Registration is now open for K–12 students and educators around the world. Teams have until December 19, 2025, to submit their projects, with winners announced in early 2026.
Be part of the next wave of AI innovators — and show the world how technology can make a positive difference.
