The Snap Augmented Reality (AR) Lens Challenge is a student-led programme created to help young people develop the foundational digital skills they need to be successful in the future digital landscape.
It has been designed for students aged 13 years+ and runs over 3 weeks (2-3 hours a week) as an extracurricular programme, and is delivered in 3 main stages:
Some of us have been single-minded about our goals since primary school. Some of us have only recently realised that we can actually do whatever we want to.
Regardless of whether you’ve always been a dreamer, or recently jumped on the hustle, you’ve got the Zero Gravity mindset: to defy the odds and make your ambitions real.As a tech-first platform, we’ve always believed that the process can all take place behind your laptop. Entering a digital world of learning, upskilling, mentoring, dreaming, scheming, plotting and winning - you can become a success from behind the screen as you take those big steps out into the real world.
It’s time to use tech to power up the future you never thought possible.
This year, we want you to design a Snap lens to showcase the journey of making your ambitions real to your Snapchat friends.
It could be anything. Your childhood dream of becoming a doctor or a lawyer. Your plan to travel the world or move to a big city. Your ambition to write a book or launch a new app. Whatever you want to do, and whoever you want to be, don’t wait. Make it real right now, with the power of AR.
As you design your Snap Lens for this year’s AR Lens Challenge, think about:
After you have completed the tutorials under the “Level up” section of the website, and have attended the Lens Lab and/ or Office Hours, you’ll be ready to show off your latest fashion statement to all your friends with your Lens.

The student will get the opportunity to meet various employees at Snap, discuss their careers and discover who is behind the creation of the lenses that students know and love. Imagine how great that would look on your CV!
