CFI Robotics NFP proudly launches the first AgentVenture: The Youth AI Agent Venture Challenge. This is a free AI innovation and entrepreneurship challenge for students in grades 5–8. Tomorrow is the first workshop, where we will thoroughly introduce the competition’s detailed rules and help participants kick off their projects.

In the competition, students will pick real-world problems, explore solutions, learn how to design an AI Agent, turn their ideas into a visual workflow prototype, and finally present and pitch their projects as young entrepreneurs.

The project does not require any coding background—what’s more important is curiosity, creativity, problem-solving skills, and a willingness to try.

Project Highlights:

🌹 Free participation
🌹 For students in grades 5–8
🌹 Individual or 2–3 person teams
🌹 No coding experience needed
🌹 Free online workshops (5 sessions)
🌹 Finals: On-site in Chicago + online participation
🌹 Up to 20 finalist teams will advance to the finals
