Empowering young minds through Artificial Intelligence!

Discover the AI Revolution!   

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 – Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world, and the AI School Challenge 2025 is leading this change. On February 13, 2025, students from across the region gathered at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in Kuala Lumpur for an engaging, hands-on learning experience. Organized by the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIRO) in collaboration with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) UTM Kuala Lumpur Student Branch, IEEE Kuala Lumpur, and Geoprecision Tech, this event aimed to inspire the next generation of AI innovators.

The AI School Challenge included a series of engaging activities. It began with workshops where experts taught students the fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI). Following that, teams explored real-world applications of AI, focusing on how it can tackle global challenges. Students designed AI-powered solutions using tools like Napkin.ai and Bolt.new during the creative project development phase. The challenge concluded with a final pitch session, where teams presented their projects to judges. The judges evaluated the projects based on creativity, feasibility, and real-world impact.
