February 7th & 8th, 2026 - Dubai, UAE
Join innovators from across the globe for the ultimate AI, Robotics, and IoT challenge!
Inspiring the next generation of innovators
Empowering students through hands-on learning in robotics, coding, IoT, and AI, fostering innovation and collaboration.
The Maker and Coder Championship is an innovative competition designed to inspire students in the fields of robotics, coding, IoT, and AI. Through hands-on experiences, it guides participants from hardware construction to programming, encouraging creativity and critical thinking. The competition aims to provide a dynamic environment that nurtures problem-solving, teamwork, and the ability to turn ideas into reality.
Aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the championship supports SDG 4 (Quality Education) by fostering an inclusive platform for learning, and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by promoting technological innovation. It also emphasizes the importance of SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), encouraging global cooperation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
By participating in the Maker and Coder Championship, students not only demonstrate their technical expertise but also develop essential life skills such as communication and collaboration. The competition prepares students for the workforce of Industry 4.0 and for future challenges in the rapidly evolving fields of robotics, AI, and IoT.
Through this unique challenge, students gain the tools and confidence to succeed in their careers, while contributing to global progress in education and innovation. The Maker and Coder Championship is where young minds come together to transform ideas into reality and shape the future of technology.
