Questions
Everything people usually ask.
Is the Learn-a-thon free?
Yes. Registration is free, and every AI tool we use has a free tier—no payment needed for the day.
Is this related to the AI Malaysia Takeover 2026 event?
Yes—the Learn-a-thon is day two of the two-day AI Malaysia Takeover (aimto.my). Attend both days for the full experience: more free speaking sessions, workshops, and support and learning opportunities.
Are spaces limited?
Yes. Capacity at The Campus is limited, so register early to lock in your spot.
Do I need coding experience?
No. Complete beginners are welcome, with setup support, practical sessions and mentors who can help you take the next step.
Should I bring a laptop?
Yes—bring a laptop and charger if you want to build. We will share any account or setup guidance before the day.
What AI tools will I get to use?
Whatever fits your build: Claude Code, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT Desktop, Lovable, Google AI Studio, OpenClaw, Hermes, Notion and Cleve are all on hand, with mentors to help you pick.
Do I need to stay the whole day?
No. Drop in for an hour or stay for the full 10am–6pm—come and go as it suits you.
Where can I eat, and is there parking?
The Campus has plenty of cafes and eateries on site and nearby. Parking is available on the grounds, and the nearest LRT (Ampang) is about a 25-minute walk or a short e-hailing ride away.
What if I have no idea what to build?
That is exactly what the Inspiration Board is for. Choose a beginner prompt, browse community problems or find a teammate at the Build Wall.
Can experienced builders join?
Absolutely. Take on a challenge, explore advanced tools, meet other builders, showcase a project or help someone who is just getting started.
Do I have to present my project?
No. Show and Tell is optional. You can submit to the Builder Gallery, quietly take your project home or volunteer for a five-minute demo.
