The competition expects nearly 1,000 entries. Students must make online submissions before Nov 5, and the awards will be announced in March or April 2026. The winners will be invited on a study tour in August 2026.

Bashu and two border schools in northeastern Thailand signed a memorandum of understanding during the launch ceremony.

The competition is part of a broader collaboration between SEAMEO STEM-ED, UNESCO INRULED, and Bashu. More foundational educational exchange events with countries in the region are planned for the near future.
