The National Center of Artificial Intelligence Pakistan and AI-HIVE have jointly announced the launch of three summer programmes for 2026, to be held at the National University of Sciences and Technology’s H-12 campus in Islamabad, aimed at developing artificial intelligence skills across different age groups and experience levels as Pakistan works to build a pipeline of home-grown talent in one of the most consequential technology domains of the current era.
The first programme, the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Bootcamp, is designed for participants between the ages of 10 and 15 and runs for 10 days beginning June 15, 2026. It is intended as an accessible entry point into artificial intelligence and robotics for younger students, introducing core concepts through hands-on learning in an environment designed to make technical subjects engaging for that age group. The second programme, the Artificial Intelligence Nexus Accelerator, is aimed at students at the Intermediate Science Certificate, Ordinary Level, and Advanced Level stages of education, running for three weeks from June 15, 2026, and combining structured training with an internship component that gives participants practical exposure alongside their coursework. The third programme, the Artificial Intelligence Research Apprenticeship, targets participants between 16 and 24 years of age, including Advanced Level students, and runs for two weeks beginning July 1, 2026, offering a more research-oriented track for those looking to develop a deeper understanding of artificial intelligence at an academic level.
All three programmes are being delivered under the National Center of Artificial Intelligence and AI-HIVE banner at NUST’s H-12 Islamabad campus, with seats described as limited across all tracks. Participants interested in the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Bootcamp can register at https://lnkd.in/did8Ky-E, those applying for the Artificial Intelligence Nexus Accelerator can do so at https://lnkd.in/dB8WYvnS, and registrations for the Artificial Intelligence Research Apprenticeship are open at https://lnkd.in/dyG5qGuv.
For queries, prospective applicants can reach the organisers directly at +92 336 1187711 or +92 300 5805298. Further details on all three programmes are available at https://lnkd.in/dC-ddy49.
