Imagine Cup Junior 2024
Now in its fifth year, Imagine Cup Junior is an exciting opportunity for students aged 5-18 years old 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. It’s a great introduction to technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and cybersecurity, and is suitable for all levels, especially beginners.
We are very excited to add a new category for students aged 5-12 years old this year! Students in this age group will focus on Technology for Good with lessons designed especially for early learners. The newly designed teaching resources will help support educators in offering this opportunity to their students.
We are also excited to announce that we have added a lesson around Generative AI for Imagine Cup Junior’s AI for Good competition for students aged 13-18 years old.
