One person. Five hours. One opportunity to build something extraordinary.
An individual buildathon for working professionals and students alike, from any domain. Use AI, automation, APIs, frameworks and any technology you want to turn an original idea into a working prototype.
The Premise
What is MOONSHOT?
MOONSHOT is an individual buildathon designed for people who want to turn bold ideas into real prototypes.
It is open to working professionals and students alike, from every domain. You do not need a computer science degree or a job title that mentions code.
There are no restrictions on the technology you use. Use AI, APIs, automation platforms, frameworks, open-source tools, or anything else that helps you build. If you need AI tooling and do not have it, we can provide access to Boodoo.ai on the day.
The goal isn't to build the most complicated project. The goal is to build something original, meaningful and innovative.
The Challenge
Don't Build the Usual.
Don't just build something that works. Build something that makes people ask “How did you think of that?”
Domains
Choose Your Playground
Six broad territories. Pick one, then go somewhere unexpected inside it.
Your Toolkit
Use Any Technology.
Your toolkit is entirely up to you.
AI is a tool, not the idea.
The technology can be familiar. The idea should be different.
