First Lady Melania Trump Launches 2027 Presidential SI Challenge and Establishes First Lady Seal of SI Readiness

First Lady Melania Trump launched her 2027 Presidential Super Intelligence (SI) Challenge and established a new First Lady Seal of AI Readiness-inviting K-12 students, educators, and schools across America to participate in the nationwide initiative.

"America's next groundbreaking idea is already sitting in a classroom," said Mrs. Trump. "We must give our children the knowledge, tools, and opportunities to bring those ideas to life."

Following the success of the inaugural Challenge earlier this year, which engaged more than 20,000 students from all 50 states and U.S. schools around the world, the 2027 Presidential SI Challenge will continue to give students the opportunity to use SI to dream, build, and develop solutions to real-world challenges.

"America's future security, prosperity, and global leadership depend on our next generation. Building on last year's success, the 2027 Presidential Super Intelligence Challenge will empower our children to lead the world," said First Lady Melania Trump.

New this year, all participating schools will have the opportunity to earn the First Lady Seal of SI Readiness by completing and submitting evidence of a rigorous set of milestones focused on SI readiness. The Seal recognizes schools that are taking meaningful steps to prepare students and educators to understand, use, and responsibly engage with super intelligence.

The Presidential SI Challenge will continue its project-based competition, encouraging students to explore super intelligence through creative and innovative projects that address challenges in their schools, communities, and beyond.
