AI is the newest category here and its formats are still settling. The USA Artificial Intelligence Olympiad is currently the only one with a national team pathway, and it tests machine learning principles and implementation rather than use of off-the-shelf models. It assumes real mathematics and programming, so it suits students already established in a math or computing contest rather than beginners.

Feb192027USA Artificial Intelligence Olympiad (USAAIO)AI is the newest and most differentiating track in US admissions right now. Huge numbers of applicants already chase USACO Gold, whereas the AI olympiad is only a few years old with far fewer entrants, so even an Honor Roll clearly separates a student from the generic claim of having built a few machine learning projects. More importantly, the United States is a founding country of IOAI and USAAIO is the official and only route to the US national AI team, which gives results on this path institutional credibility with admissions readers, especially for Irvine students targeting strong CS and AI programs.MiddleHighUSAAIO runs the USA-North America AI Olympiad for K-12 students in the United States and Canada. Round 1 is open to everyone with no grade restriction, but to attend the USAAIO camp and compete for a Team USA place a student must be a US citizen, a permanent resident, or an international student attending a US secondary school. Every round must be taken onsite and proctored, at the student's school or at a USAAIO-authorized test site such as a university, library or testing center.Register by Jan 31
