The 2026 iteration expands these opportunities via online platforms, hands-on workshops, and creative hackathons tailored to different age groups. This year&#8217;s competition challenges students to design digital innovations across four modern pillars: Smart Industry, Green Innovation, Health &amp; Well-Being, and the Creative Economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Regional Coding &amp; AI Competition serves as an intensive three-day, two-night incubation platform held across eight regions nationwide, featuring over 800 teams and 3,200 individuals. For the central and western regional qualifiers, the event garnered significant academic interest, with 100 teams from 76 schools across 14 provinces successfully making the cut. Beyond a standard contest, the event acts as an active forum for experience exchange and collaborative prototype development, helping students unlock their technological potential. Outstanding digital talent discovered through these regional rounds will ultimately advance to the national competition level, preparing them to lead Thailand&#8217;s future digital ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 25, 2026, Miss Aranya Pornchaiya, Deputy Permane &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/?p=611571\" class=\"more-link\">\u0e2d\u0e48\u0e32\u0e19\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e34\u0e48\u0e21\u0e40\u0e15\u0e34\u0e21<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Coding Thailand 2026 Launches Regional AI Competition to Cultivate Future Tech Innovators&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":611576,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-611571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eng0"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/611571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=611571"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/611571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":611580,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/611571\/revisions\/611580"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/611576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=611571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=611571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=611571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
