## Summary

Melania Trump visited Mountain View Elementary on September 15 to unveil a new partnership with Nvidia that will bring AI‑powered robotics into U.S. classrooms. The initiative, part of her Be Best program, aims to give students hands‑on experience with large language models, computer vision and robotics, and to prepare them for a future where AI skills are essential.

The First Lady also highlighted her Presidential AI Challenge, which offers cash prizes and a trip to Washington for K‑12 students who use AI tools to solve community problems. In addition, she referenced the recent appearance of the humanoid robot Figure 03, built by California startup Figure AI, which greeted attendees in eleven languages during a White House summit.

While the partnership does not introduce a new AI model, it signals continued U.S. government support for AI education and the integration of commercial AI technologies in public schools.
