North American AI Challenge for Neurodiverse Learning

The Spark Center for Innovation in Learning, in collaboration with Enterprise Technology, invites interdisciplinary student teams from across North American higher education institutions to participate in the North American AI Challenge for Neurodiverse Learning, a hybrid design and venture challenge for students running Oct. 24 – Nov. 21, 2026. From Oct. 24 to Nov. 21, 2026, this design and venture challenge invites students to prototype and pitch AI-driven ventures that support neurodivergent young people, while engaging higher education institutions and service-minded organizations across North America as partners and collaborators. Informed by real-world research with trusted partners that serve neurodiverse communities, student teams will develop and present venture-ready AI solutions through a series of pitch rounds, culminating in a live grand finale in Phoenix, Arizona, with $15,000 in grand prizes. The Challenge: Design and prototype the next generation of inclusive AI.
