Student Essays

Every year RJEC holds a student competition where student can submit a written essay or a short video. We award cash prizes and a certificate. All Middle and High School students are encouraged to enter.

This year’s theme is about the rapidly evolving technology of  Artificial Intelligence (AI)  

Some AI examples include, but are not limited to gaming (i.e. Minecraft), Chatbots, SmartAssistants (i.e. Siri, Bixby), navigation/GPS apps, or autonomous vehicles. 

How do you envision AI changing the way we live in the next 10 years?  What are some potential benefits or risks to the technology?
