Judges, mentors, and speakers make the experience better for students and stronger for the broader AI community. Whether you want to evaluate projects, guide teams, or share expertise, your participation helps students learn how AI is applied thoughtfully in the real world
Participating as a judge, mentor, or speaker is a chance to support student innovation at a meaningful moment. You’ll help learners think critically, build responsibly, and connect classroom curiosity to real-world AI practice.
Benefits:
Judges review submissions asynchronously using a shared rubric focused on problem understanding, AI reasoning, solution design, impact, and responsible AI. Judges should have relevant professional or academic experience and be able to commit roughly four hours across the judging period.
Apply nowMentors support learning and thinking, not project execution. They help teams with framing, AI design, tradeoffs, and presentation, and they may participate in office hours or scheduled check-ins. Mentors do not code, build, or complete project work for teams.
Apply nowSpeakers contribute keynotes, workshops, or talks that help students build stronger projects and understand how AI connects to careers, systems, and society. Sessions may be live or recorded to support global participation.
