This fall, the University of Kentucky and GlobeFin.org are running the Kentucky PFM Challenge. UK students get eight weeks to build a personal financial management app - budgeting, saving, investments, debt, or risk - for someone living in Kentucky: an individual, a household, or a small business. No coding background needed. Students describe what the tool should do, and an AI assistant writes the code. The skill on display is knowing what people need from a PFM tool.We're raising a $10,000 prize pool: a $5,000 grand prize and five $1,000 category prizes. For students, it's real money, a finished piece of work with their name on it, and a first real taste of building a financial solution. For you, your name sits alongside the University of Kentucky and the UK Certified Financial Planning Certification Program on the challenge page and in the announcement of the winners.
