MindHack Malaysia 2026 (National)​MindHack Malaysia is an international coding tournament for young minds aged 7–17, offering hands on challenges in Coding, 3D Design and Electronics. This year, the competition presents the theme "Guardians of the Planet." Our world faces numerous environmental challenges—from pollution and overconsumption of resources to climate change—leading us to a vital question: How can technology help protect our planet?​​Under this theme, participants will explore real-world environmental issues through technology and creativity. Competitors will use their skills to design projects that help care for the environment, reduce our impact on nature, and build a more sustainable world. Students may create interactive simulations, design 3D models, or develop electronics projects that address specific sustainability challenges.​By encouraging young minds to think critically and build meaningful solutions in innovative and educational ways, this event aims to nurture environmental awareness while developing future-ready digital skills.​MINDHACK 2026 NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL EVENT DETAILS National MindHack 2026Date: 16th August 2026​​Time: 8:00am - 4:30pmVenue: Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU), Kuala LumpurAddress: Jalan Teknologi 5, Taman Teknologi Malaysia, 57000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur​International MindHack 2026Date: 24th October 2026Time: 8:00am - 5:30pmVenue: Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU), Kuala LumpurAddress: Jalan Teknologi 5, Taman Teknologi Malaysia, 57000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur​Fees​​​Stage 1 (National): RM 100 (Includes tshirt, medal, certificate & lunch)Stage 2 (International): USD 100​MindHack National 2026: Registration Closed.​​​​​​​🏆 MINDHACK 2026: EVALUATION & JUDGING CRITERIADiscover how your projects will be evaluated.
