This year, AIDUCATION’26 is not just about educators. It’s about empowering students too.

We’re proud to be organising the Create.Code.Change competition in collaboration with Canva, giving pupils aged 11 and up the chance to explore AI-powered coding through creativity and purpose.

Using Canva Code, students will design app ideas that support one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. No previous coding experience is needed.

Winners will be invited to present their ideas at AIDUCATION’26. If a team can’t attend in person, their work will still be showcased as part of the programme.

This is vibe coding in action: design thinking meets real-world impact, with AI as the co-creator.

We are thrilled to partner with outstanding organisations for AIDCUATION’26!
