Empowering students aged 8–19 to understand, create, and responsibly use AI, turning curiosity into real-world impact.
By 2030, more than 2 billion jobs will be impacted by AI automation. Yet, over half of today’s students will graduate without the tech skills they need to thrive in an AI-powered economy.
Intel’s AI for Youth program bridges this gap, helping students move from passive consumers of technology to active creators, thinkers, and problem-solvers.
