500+ international students from the top institutions of the US and China. One mission: design a future space base — and build a working prototype.
Most hackathons are built for engineers. Ours has interdisciplinary tracks — Engineering, Governance, Aesthetics, and Open Innovation. With AI lowering technical barriers, political scientists, designers, writers, and artists are no longer spectators. They're co-creators.
We don't ask students to clone the next app. We ask them to imagine humanity's next home. The prompt is a civilizational question — how should we live, govern, and create in space? This produces work with real intellectual depth, not just technical demos.
Simultaneous nodes in international cities: New York and Beijing. Teams can communicate across borders. Daily "Stellar Link" sessions connect all sites in real-time. One of the first hackathons to bridge top American and Chinese universities around a shared creative mission.
We don't just throw people into a room and start a timer. Our methodology — built on self-awareness, deep human connection, and creative expression — creates a space where strangers become genuine collaborators in hours. That's why our alumni keep coming back.
Design a technical subsystem: energy, life support, communications, construction.
Design the social operating system: governance, law, culture, ethics.
Design the visual identity: architecture, interiors, clothing, branding.
Anything space-related: games, apps, documentaries, business plans — SURPRISE US.
We're looking for sponsors, academic partners, and institutional collaborators who want to reach the next generation of cross-disciplinary talent — and put their name on something meaningful.
