About the contest
The Schools of the Future AI for Student Wellbeing Challenge invites student teams to design a practical, creative solution that supports wellbeing in a real school context. The goal is to show how student voice, innovation, and thoughtful use of AI can improve learning environments.
Teams should keep the project focused, clear, and achievable. The strongest entries explain the problem first, then show how their idea works, why it matters, and who benefits.
Submission format
A short video presentation with a clear explanation of the idea and its student wellbeing impact.
What judges want
Strong reasoning, originality, feasibility, and a design that feels useful in a school setting.
Challenge goals
Student wellbeing
Support belonging, confidence, and mental health.
Future learning
Show how students can learn with AI responsibly.
The original flyer includes dense branding and graphic treatment; this version keeps the information hierarchy and uses simple Tailwind blocks instead.
