WALNUT EDUTECH CHAMPIONSHIP 2026
DEVELOPING DIGITAL THINKERS OF THE FUTURE

INTRODUCTION
Walnut Edutech Championship is an integrated competition organized by Walnut Education Sdn. Bhd., aimed at nurturing the interest and talents of primary and secondary school students in the field of technology and innovation. The competition will be held for the second time in 2026 and is expected to progress from the state or regional level to the national level in 2026, followed by the international level in 2027. In addition, students who participated in the 2025 competition and meet the qualifying criteria will have the opportunity to be shortlisted to participate in an international competition scheduled for 2026, enabling them to develop their talents on a global platform while enhancing their confidence and technological skills.
The Walnut platform adopts an interactive learning approach, incorporating elements of gamification, animation, and hands-on experiences, allowing students to better understand technology and programming concepts more effectively. Furthermore, the platform is designed to reduce the teaching workload for educators and enables teachers, even those without a strong technical background, to initiate robotics and programming instruction with ease, thereby facilitating the implementation of technology-based learning activities in schools.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES
This program aims to nurture the interest and talent of primary and secondary school students in the fields of technology, innovation, robotics, and programming through an interactive, engaging, and progressive learning platform. It supports the development of 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, while also easing teachers’ instructional burden through a user-friendly learning system. The program serves as a structured avenue to identify and develop students’ talents holistically and provides opportunities for high-performing students to progress from state and national levels to international competitions, in line with the aspirations of the Ministry of Education Malaysia to strengthen technology and innovation education.
