The Gifted Youth AI Meme Contest

​What happens when a flock of flamingos tries beach yoga and one of them can’t quite find their balance? That’s the kind of silliness our Gifted Youth get to create!

​

This contest invites young Mensans to explore AI image generators and show off their sense of humor. Create a funny image or comic using any AI tool, then add your own original caption to turn it into a meme. The tech makes the picture; the wit is all you.

Join fellow Mensa families at the SWA Education Center for a free, family-friendly celebration of America Recycles Day! This community event (open to the public, hosted by the Solid Waste Authority) features over 50 exhibitors, a Heavy Equipment Expo, facility tours, a Kids Zone, food trucks and more. Bring your lithium batteries to drop off, or swap two clean plastic bags for two reusable ones through the Plastic Bag Xchange2 Program — and don't miss the free tree giveaway! Learn more HERE!

Have the kids wear their Mensa shirts so we can spot each other in the crowd!

Gifted Youth Merch Design Launch

Create What We’ll Wear!

​

We’re in the early stages of building an online merch shop for Palm Beach Area Gifted Youth Mensa, and we want the first featured design to come from one of our own. This isn’t a logo redesign. We’re looking for original, youth-driven, visually compelling artwork that feels authentic and bold. Think wearable art, not corporate branding. Details and submission information available here.

Be Featured in The Rising Tide

Have a brag, story, artwork, photo, or project to share? We’re always looking to spotlight the incredible creativity and accomplishments of our gifted youth. Submit your work and be part of the next issue.

Share Your Latest Read

Read something amazing lately? We’d love to hear about it! We welcome reviews from all genres and all reading levels — picture books to philosophy, graphic novels to historical epics. There’s no ongoing commitment — share whenever inspiration strikes. Help spark curiosity and inspire fellow readers in our community.
