Format — 05

Hackathons.

Build something in one evening. Cross-disciplinary teams, a real problem from a domain partner, working prototypes by the end of the night.

Cadence

A few times a year

4–8 hours · in-person

Location

Copenhagen, mostly

How a night runs.

A short brief, a tight build window, demos in front of the people whose problem it is. No theatre, no homework.

01 Brief

Real problem, real data.

A short, concrete challenge from a domain partner. No prizes-and-theatre, no fictional scenarios. The work is useful by definition.

02 Build

Teams form on the spot.

Cross-disciplinary by design. Claude Code, free Anthropic credits, the partner's data, and a few hours to put something together.

03 Demo

Three minutes per team.

Working prototype, not pitch deck. Judges and domain partners in the room — the people whose problem it actually is.

04 Connect

The night doesn't end at demos.

Drinks, conversations, and the start of new collaborations across disciplines. The most durable outcomes come from this part.

Principle

Working prototype, not pitch deck.

What you leave with.

Concrete outcomes, not certificates. Four things you take back to Monday.

01 A working prototype

Code that runs.

At the end of the night you have something to show, not a slide. Yours to keep, extend, and bring back to your team.

02 New collaborators

People you'd never meet otherwise.

A few hours building beside engineers, designers, PMs, scientists from completely different fields. This is where most of the long-term value lives.

03 Claude Code reps

Hands-on, under pressure.

The fastest way to learn the tool: a real problem, a tight deadline, someone next to you stuck on the same thing.

04 A real dataset

Not a tutorial dataset.

Domain experts in the room to explain what you're looking at, and the constraints that make the problem hard in practice.

Who it's for.

Builders curious about working across disciplines. STEM students, graduates, and young professionals — including product management and adjacent roles. No neuroscience background needed; teams are intentionally cross-functional, and the partners in the room explain the domain.
