Hi 

The Coolest Projects 2026 global online showcase is open for entries! Young people up to age 18 can now sign up to take part and share their amazing digital tech creations with the world. You can also now enter our in-person Coolest Projects events in the USA, Ireland, Belgium, and the UK, so young people based in those countries can start getting ready for those exciting events too.

Other in-person Coolest Projects events happening around the world will open for entries soon, so watch your inbox to be the first to find out!

Young people anywhere in the world can take part in the Coolest Projects 2026 online showcase. All digital tech projects are welcome, from beginner experiments to advanced builds, and it’s completely free to take part.
