seven global events, 2,340 confirmed participants across 30 countries, $45,752+ in prizes distributed. the community is where students find peers, ideas find teams, and the best projects find a path forward into rigorous work.
our seventh event and most ambitious yet. 11 prize categories across beginner friendly machine learning/AI and open-ended innovation tracks. moonshot was the first aethra event where top builders got directly connected to vetted research programs, fellowships, and mentors. the goal was to make what comes after the hackathon as valuable as the hackathon itself.
"Civilizations are not transformed by those who optimize what already exists. They are transformed by those willing to imagine what does not."

the aethra discord is where event participants, researchers, and builders stay connected between hackathons. it is where open problems get discussed, teams form for moonshot, and students share what they're working on.
it is also where we post announcements about fellowship openings, mentorship program launches, and new open problem batches before anywhere else. if you want to know when things open, this is where to be.
