Aethra

Aethra is an interdisciplinary organisation. We create programmes and community where different fields work together on purpose.

Our aim is to advance interdisciplinary thinking. The problems that matter do not sit inside one discipline, and neither should the people trying to solve them.

The Moonshot
Moonshot
0 to 1 hackathon

Our flagship programme for zero-to-one ideas. Interdisciplinary teams build something new from scratch, bringing different fields into the same brief instead of iterating on what already exists.

Ideathon
Ideathon
Virtual

Where Aethra began. Open to any background, it asked people to take a concept from one field and pair it with the craft of pitching it well, so the idea and the argument had to travel together.

Hackathon
Hackathon
48 hours

An open-track build weekend. Teams joined engineering with whatever second discipline their project actually needed, with no single lane forced on what they could make.

Gamethon
Gamethon
48 hours

Game design meets a hackathon. Designers, storytellers, and engineers spent 48 hours shipping a playable game together, not a concept deck or a slide mock.

Vibeathon
Vibeathon
48 hours

Aesthetics and engineering in one brief. Taste and execution counted alongside technical depth, so form and function had to be built as one piece of work.

260 participants $1,347 prizes raised
Brandathon
Brandathon
48 hours

Visual identity and the story behind it, made in the same weekend. Teams treated communication as a craft of its own, not decoration added after the design.

167 participants $1,347 prizes raised
Pitchathon
Pitchathon
48 hours

Take a concept from any field and make the case for it. The programme treats clear explanation as part of the work itself, not an afterthought once the idea exists.
