A national learning experience where students and educators design FutureReady Quests—short, practical activities that help students build confidence, skills, and real-world awareness.

Some teams use AI. Some don’t.
The focus is learning how to move forward with intention.

Teams must participate through an organized learning setting, including:

• High school classrooms or CTE programs

• Afterschool or out-of-school-time programs

• Recognized student groups (e.g., FBLA)

Each team includes at least two (2) students + one (1) educator or program leader

Not at this time.
The Challenge is designed for teams supported by schools, programs, or student organizations.

A short, guided learning experience designed by students that helps peers:

• Reflect on their future

• Practice real-world skills

• Explore careers or pathways

It’s meant to be useful.
Not a test. Not a worksheet.

About 2–3 total hours per team.

Time can be spread across class periods, advisory, clubs, or afterschool sessions.

Nope.

AI is optional and used as a tool—not the focus.
No technical expertise is expected.

• A 1-page Quest outline

• A 3-minute video or slideshow

• A brief mentor reflection

All teams gain meaningful, future-focused learning.
