Teachers tell us they plan their classes around our challenges, and tens of thousands of teenagers across the globe participate — creating narratives, profiles, opinion pieces and reviews, podcasts, videos, illustrations and photo essays. For us, these contests are an honor and a joy to host. We love learning from young people — about what moves them and makes them mad, what intrigues and confuses and delights and defines them. Every summer we tinker with our offerings to keep them fresh, and we’ve made some significant changes this time around. To start, in August The Learning Network will celebrate its 25th anniversary, and we’re marking it by running our first-ever challenge that is open to our full audience, both teachers and teenagers. We hope together you’ll help us tell a rich story about what it’s like to be in high school in 2023. Like educators all over, we’ve also been spurred by the advent of generative A.I. to make creative tweaks to our offerings. This year we’re putting more emphasis on the parts of the composing process that are, well, human. A glance at the 10 descriptions below might show you that elements like voice, point of view, reflection, community-building and connection-making are more central than ever. We’ve invented new contests and updated old ones, and we’ll be emphasizing process as well as product throughout.
