About Us

We are a global nonprofit working to make AI education and innovation accessible to communities often excluded from the AI revolution. We believe AI should help people, not replace them, and that every student deserves the chance to shape its future.

Our student-led chapters don’t just study AI, they use it for real-world impact. Each chapter runs initiatives based on local needs, from hands-on workshops for seniors to building physical AI Challenge Kits for schools with limited internet, and launching projects for our AI for Impact Challenge.

Chapters collaborate nationally, receive expert mentorship, and access funding to grow their work. Whether they are helping nonprofits automate tasks or introducing kids to machine learning, our students turn learning into action. We also host chapter-independent workshops and support individuals and organizations in creating their own Challenge Kits using our open templates.

About the Competition

Our International AI for Impact Challenge (AIIC) empowers student chapters to create real AI solutions for local problems. Winners gain mentorship, research opportunities, and the chance to bring their ideas to life and patent it at a university lab. Everyone who competes helps others and demonstrates technical expertise applied to their community, something few can do and impressive to all. Our monthly challenges are much simpler and also carry the same weight in terms of credibility on your resume, without the opportunity to partner with a university.
