About this hackathon
Kiro BuildFest 2026
Welcome to the Kiro BuildFest. It is open for university undergraduates (of the eligible Universities) to build anything they can imagine, powered by Kiro, the AI-driven development environment. Kiro goes beyond code generation, it helps you think through your idea by producing structured specs, design documents, and task lists before a single line of code is written, so you're always building the right thing from the start (Spec-Driven). You can also start with nothing more than a rough idea and let Kiro progressively shape it into well-structured, production-quality software—turning "vibes coding" into something you'd actually ship.
The theme is open-ended — if you can dream it, you can ship it. Bring your boldest ideas and let Kiro help you turn them into working solutions.
