About Event

​Meet across borders. Build around real challenges.

​What could you build for a more sustainable Southeast Asia—in one afternoon, with a new team and AI tools?

​Build the Next in SEA brings together visiting Tsinghua x-lab teams and local founders, students, developers and creatives in Bali for a hands-on afternoon of exchange and co-creation.

​Building on our June 30 Bali hackathon and recent workshop in Malaysia, we’re reconnecting the builder community and welcoming new collaborators. Together, we’ll explore local challenges, form cross-cultural teams and turn ideas into early prototypes.

​What we’ll build

​Start with a challenge that matters to the region: sustainable tourism, marine conservation, community waste reduction, clean energy—or another opportunity your team identifies.

​Through an introduction to vibe coding and AI-assisted development, you’ll explore how AI tools can help turn an idea into a mockup or working prototype. Facilitators will support teams throughout the session.

​By the end of the afternoon, each team will aim to share a clear problem, an early solution and a short demo. The goal is to create something tangible—and find people you want to keep building with.

​Come ready to contribute your perspective, collaborate across cultures and try something new. Participants from our June 30 hackathon are especially welcome to reconnect.

​What to bring

​Organizers

​Hosted by ATOX and United In Diversity (UID), with guidance from Tsinghua x-lab and the Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center (TSEA), as part of the Tsinghua x-lab Bali Program 2026.
