Microsoft Imagine Cup Junior | Submissions close May 10, 2023

They say technology is not child’s play. We say, why not? Announcing the Imagine Cup Junior 2023 – a technology challenge designed exclusively for students in the age group of 13-18 years, to learn about technology and how it can be used to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges, while participating in a global student challenge.

?

The Imagine Cup Junior (ICJ) gives children wings to dream, design, and create ideas across technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and cybersecurity; and in the process learn new skills. We believe that students today will be changemakers of tomorrow, so we need to empower them with the tools, resources, and opportunities to learn new skills and prepare for the future workforce.

The ICJ 2023 is a global challenge that focuses on Artificial Intelligence (AI); introducing students to AI and Microsoft’s AI for Good?initiatives so they can come up with bright ideas to solve social, cultural, and environmental issues. It also encourages students to develop and practice skills like communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. Launched on January 11, 2023, across schools worldwide, the challenge has already seen over 100 entries from schools from across India.
