The Schools Reinventing Jacksonville Challenge is a citywide incentive in partnership with COJ, DCPS, Minecraft Education & C40 cities. The challenge empowers students from elementary, middle, high school and college to help re-envision Jacksonville’s communities and public spaces. By integrating STEM, urban planning, and sustainability, this program cultivates creativity, collaboration, and civic engagement among young learners.

The initiative culminates in a high-profile competition and an Esports-style virtual semi-finals & in-person final event, where student teams showcase their innovative city designs in front of community leaders, educators, and city stakeholders—including the Mayor!
