Grand Finals of National AI Builder Programme 2026
National AI Builders Programme 2026: National Finals
What happens to education when answers are no longer scarce?
AI is changing how young people learn, think and create. The National AI Builders Programme (NAIBP) 2026 was created to help students go beyond simply using AI for answers, and learn how to think, experiment, solve problems and build with it.
After engaging hundreds of students and educators across Melaka, Johor and Kuala Lumpur/Selangor, the programme culminates in the NAIBP 2026 National Finals.
What to expect at the Finals
Come for three key experiences:

The Finals are for parents, educators, soon-to-be parents, education leaders, builders, and anyone curious about how AI could reshape learning.
