National Youth Tech Championship 2026

The National Youth Tech Championship (NYTC) encourages secondary schools' Infocomm Media Club members to be curious, confident and creative in technology.

NYTC is shifting gears this season with an exciting new focus on land-based robotics with AI! As the premier national technology competition, NYTC empowers students to develop crucial programming and AI skills, engage in hands-on activities, and explore real-world AI applications.

Students will have the opportunity to:

• Develop essential programming and AI skills for the future
• Immerse in exciting hands-on activities and challenges
• Discover real-world applications of AI in action

Over 300 students from 67 schools took part in the third and biggest edition of NYTC in 2025. NYTC introduced a first-of-its-kind format where students coded and strategised as a team to navigate both aerial drones and ground-based robots in a fully autonomous manner.

The top teams battled it out in an AI tech derby where they demonstrated strong AI and problem-solving skills, agility, resilience and teamwork to pilot their drones and robots autonomously through an exciting obstacle course.
