About Apex America Initiative

The Apex America Initiative is the first national program dedicated to preparing the next generation of AI leaders. Backed by Correlation One, we’re on a mission to ensure that every student — regardless of background — has access to free AI training, competitions, and mentorship.

Through workshops, challenges, and community, we’re creating pathways for students to explore, learn, and lead in the world of artificial intelligence.

During the competition, you can expect to: 

  • Test your algorithm in battle against a series of AI "bosses".
  • Watch your algorithm rise or fall in the live leaderboard as it goes head-to-head with others in matches.
  • Reach the qualifier deadline, after which the top 10 teams on the leaderboard earn an invitation to the grand finale and a chance to win top prizes.
  • See top matches get broadcast with live commentary. The Prize Wheel adds an element of surprise — anyone can walk away with a reward.
