Backing the Presidential AI Challenge and the Artificial Intelligence for American Youth initiative, Intel introduced its AI-Ready School Initiative aimed at preparing students to become responsible AI solution creators. This effort builds on Intel’s ongoing commitment to The White House AI Education pledge.
Aligned with the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, Intel will partner with 250 schools across the country to establish them as role model AI-Ready Schools, delivering:
- 250 hours of free AI curriculum for students in grades 3–12 to learn essential AI skills such as generative AI, data science, computer vision, AI ethics, and AI for entrepreneurship.
- Free professional development classes for 5,000 educators with 100+ AI-infused lesson plans.
- Opportunities for students to showcase AI innovations and win prizes in the Intel AI Global Impact Festival.
- 500 AI-enabled PCs for safe, secure, energy-efficient teaching and learning experiences. Intel will also foster a local partner ecosystem for a robust, open x86 compute environment for schools.
- Increased support to community colleges and universities for workforce development for broader American competitiveness, with 1,000+ hours of AI curriculum for key industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, cybersecurity, sustainability, applied ethics and accessibility.
By 2030, Intel aims to scale this model to more than 2,500 U.S. schools, impacting approximately 25 million students through public-private partnerships with state governments, education leaders and the local technology industry. This will help the American workforce lead the world in secure, ethical, and values-driven AI innovation.
“As the world accelerates into the AI era, every young American should have access to the tools, skills, and experiences that will define the future,” said Greg Ernst, Intel Corporate Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer. “At Intel, we believe empowering students, educators, and schools with AI capabilities is essential to preparing the next generation of responsible innovators.” Ernst continued, “through our support of the Presidential AI Challenge, we’re investing in America’s future – championing innovation, advancing educational equity, and building a strong foundation for values-driven AI leadership across the country.”
