Kiro Buildathon: Campus Edition

🚀 KIRO BUILDATHON: CAMPUS EDITION 2026
Build. Innovate. Pitch.
Join Kiro Buildathon: Campus Edition 2026, a campus-level AI innovation challenge organized by AWS Student Builder Group RTMSSU.
This Buildathon is designed for students who want to solve real-world problems by building innovative applications using Kiro. Unlike traditional hackathons, participants are expected to build their projects before the event and arrive with a working solution ready to present. On the event day, teams will pitch their idea, demonstrate their project, and answer questions from an industry judging panel.
Whether you're passionate about AI, cloud computing, software development, or product innovation, this is your opportunity to showcase your skills and compete with the best student builders.
