EPC 2026: Faith and Technology: Navigating the Age of AI
Local Time
- Timezone: America/New_York
- Date: Jan 05 2026
- Time: 5:00 am - 12:00 am
How do faith and technology shape the way we live, think, and dream in the age of AI? Step up to the challenge — share your voice in our Annual Essay Panel Contest and explore what it means to navigate the crossroads of faith and technology.
TOPICS:
Elementary School:
- Level 1 (Grades 1 & 2): Imagine there were no phones, computers, or internet. Write a friendly letter to a family member or friend to explain how you use technology now to learn about Islam or talk to other Muslims. Explain how life would be different if you didn’t have this technology. Be sure to include all the parts of a friendly letter.
- Level 2 (Grades 3 & 4): Explain the role of technology in your life as a student. Explain some of the benefits and drawbacks of using technology, especially in the classroom or for learning about Islam? Think about what technological balance might look like for Muslim youth. Be sure to use evidence to support your response.
Middle School:
- Level 3 (Grades 5 & 6) + Level 4 (Grades 7 & 8): Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of daily life—from homework tools to social media filters. Write an essay about how Muslim youth can balance the advantages of AI with the responsibility of staying true to their faith.
– How can AI support learning, creativity, or Islamic knowledge?
– What dangers might come with depending too much on AI?
– Imagine a project or initiative that uses AI to strengthen faith. Explain how it could benefit your community.
High School (Grades 9-12):
- This year, high school students will participate in extemporaneous speech and writing competitions only—no prepared essays or speeches. This will test your ability to think on your feet and articulate your ideas with confidence!
