NextGen AI Innovation Challenge winners

At NextGen AI Innovation Challenge, high school and college students built AI-powered tools to make K–12 classrooms more inclusive and engaging. Meet some of our winning teams.

Team Black Coders — “Vision IQ”

Brian Felix · Nicholas Cook · Joseph Olarinde · Yosmehily Segura-Silverio

Four Electrical Engineering undergraduates built Vision IQ, a low-cost tool that reads classroom text aloud for visually impaired students. Built on accessible hardware so it can be replicated in under-resourced schools, the team envisions a future version worn in a glasses frame.

Team EE Techies — “Planet Explorer”

Imelda · Mekhi · Malek Miller

These Baltimore freshmen built a Planet Explorer learning game in Swift, where players pilot a rocket through planets themed around robotics, math, and science, answering a question to advance each stage. Their first full app turned studying into a space adventure.

What people are saying

Hear from students, teachers, and leaders navigating the AI revolution.

"I used to think AI was only for college students or engineers. The activities here showed me that I can train my own image classifier, it took about 20 minutes and I was completely hooked. This stuff is actually fun."

David

5th Grade Student, Baltimore, MD

"I pulled a unit on a Monday and taught it by Thursday. My students had the most engaged discussion I have seen all year, about AI and about real-world consequences."

Ms. Blizzard T

4th Grade Science Teacher, Baltimore, MD

"The lesson plans are genuinely teacher-ready."
