This year, Build with AI Pwani 2026 is an intensive, one-day hackathon-style "Buildathon" focused on the next frontier of engineering: Agentic AI.
Leveraging the power of Google AI Studio & Gemini CLI, participants will spend the day architecting and deploying AI-powered systems that don't just "chat," but actually act. Whether you’re a developer, designer, or data scientist, join us for a high-octane day of "vibe coding" and collaborative building to solve real-world challenges using the latest in agent-first infrastructure.
Think it. Build it.
