AI-GNITION 2026 AI Hackathon

AI-GNITION is a student-focused artificial-intelligence hackathon presented by SIM with Nexius Labs, Eslitec and industry partners. The in-person launch at SIM Clementi Campus introduces the problem statements through networking, AI booths, a keynote and an industry fireside chat. Teams of five then attend a full-day preparation workshop on 3 October, develop remotely from 4 to 23 October, and return for the final on 14 November.

It is open to students from polytechnics, junior colleges, international schools and ITE, with capacity for 100 teams. The official registration form says applications close on 7 September at 11:59pm. The organiser has not published daily session times or an attendance fee, so confirm both in the registration flow before attending.
