2024 ANSTO Hackathon

For the fifth year in a row, we're excited to be launching our Hackathon for students in partnership with the Australian Science Teacher's Association (ASTA) and the Design Factory Global Network (DFGN).

The time has finally come. . . it is time to start preparing for National Science Week 2024: where curiosity meets innovation, and science takes centre stage in the quest for species survival. Prepare to dive into a realm where the future is not just about survival, but about thriving. 

This year, ANSTO will embrace the bold theme: "Species Survival: More Than Just Sustainability".

Your mission will involve using sustainability as a platform for unlimited potential, ensuring the survival and prosperity of every species on Earth. It means a journey beyond the ordinary, a journey where science and innovation collide to tackle the challenges faced by all life forms on our planet. From the tiniest microorganisms to the grandest of ecosystems, we're delving into the intricate web of life itself. Join us as we harness the power of AI across every industry, revolutionizing the way we live, work, and coexist with the world around us.
