Generation Build '26
Turn ideas into reality.
The barriers to building real software products have been lifted. An AI-powered innovation challenge for the next generation of builders.
The first build
Form teams, come up with ideas, and build them with AI in a single day.
All-England Young Builders Hackathon
An all-England event opening to every school — students across the UK creating with AI together.
Ideas can now become real products in hours.
AI has changed what young people can create. Generation Build introduces students to the tools, mindset, and confidence to take an idea, shape it into a product, and share it with the world.

Use the latest AI tools to turn your idea into a working prototype, fast.
Pitch
Share the story behind your idea, submit your build, and show the world what you've made.
The first build sprint starts at Charterhouse.
On June 3rd, students at Charterhouse School take part in the first Generation Build pilot. Teams form online in advance, attend a short introduction to AI-powered creation, then build and submit their projects.
Awards for the ideas that move things forward.
What teams submit.
A clean, simple package — built and shipped by the next morning.
