WHY

ATTEND

Here’s to the Crazy Ones

The world has always had misfits—the ones who refuse to be trapped by rigid classrooms or follow the script. We are the creators, the dreamers, the "hippies," the ones who dare to change the world. AdventureX is a space where the brightest young engineers, designers, and builders come together, free from limits, to create the next world-changing product. Every July, in Hangzhou, the impossible happens. In 72 hours, the future is made.

HIGHLIGHT

IN 2024

At AdventureX 2024, we gathered 247 young engineers, designers, builders, and dreamers from around the world to Hangzhou, China. They formed teams and utilized the most advanced technology and tools to create more than 67 projects in just five days. Some projects have grown into real startups after the event, and the total valuation of AdventureX 2024 projects has exceeded $10M.

WELCOME

ABOARD

Welcome to the Summer Utopia

At AdventureX, we believe the best ideas come from dreamers of all backgrounds. Test scores don’t define you—creativity does. This is a place where you can express yourself freely, safely, and boldly. Whether you're an artist, a hacker, LGBTQ+, or a Minecraft gamer, you’ll find your people here. For AdventureX 2025, we're making it bigger, bolder, and more accessible than ever:

"Make It Happen" Plan:

We will provide full scholarships for underprivileged participants.

Travel Reimbursement:

We will offer flight or train reimbursement to participants traveling from distant locations.

Hotels & Meals Covered:

For all hackers, we will provide three meals per day and unlimited snacks during the event. For students and youth hackers, we will also provide hotel accommodations, and of course, we have sleeping bags and tents for you to stay overnight at the venue.

Accessibility Support:

We provide assistance for those in need, from the application process to the AdventureX offline venue.

City Pubs:

We will host pre-event gatherings in various cities to foster connections among participants before AdventureX 2025 takes place.

Our Journey is Never Lonely

Behind every young mind stands a tribe of believers.

They are the founders, the builders, the open-source pioneers, the artists, the givers. They don’t just watch from the sidelines; they shape the future with next generation together.

The ultimate fan meetup for true geeks.

Voices from Communities

The most impressive thing I experienced was the sincerity of the organizers. They treated everyone as friends, giving us all the good things they had. All you needed to do was create something that reflected your vision.

The purpose of doing something wasn't for fame or profit, but to do something that helps realize your life's value. When I saw people working with such passion and dedication, I was impressed. After all, I've never seen any event organizers willing to spend four sleepless nights with you.

FAQ

Hackathons have a rich history spanning over 20 years, bringing together builders, designers, and dreamers to collaborate in teams of 2 to 4. In just a short period, they transform their boldest ideas into reality. AdventureX 2025 is set to be the largest hackathon in China’s history, dedicated to providing the best environment and cutting-edge tools for all hackers. This year, we're elevating the experience with smarter venues, an expanded hardware lab, new competition tracks, thrilling activities, and inspiring keynote speakers.
We welcome everyone to participate in AdventureX 2025, whether or not you have experience in programming, design, or entrepreneurship. If you're under 26 years old or currently enrolled in school (Ph.D. and below), you can apply as a hacker — what we call a “hippie.” If you don’t meet these requirements, you’re still able to apply, though we recommend joining as a mentor to share your valuable insights with younger creators. Even if you’re unable to participate as a hacker or mentor, you’re still welcome to attend! AdventureX 2025 is open to the public, and we invite you to join our workshops, activities, and more—connect, create, and be part of the experience.
AdventureX 2025 is a student-led, non-profit hackathon committed to accessibility and innovation. We charge no application or participation fees. If you are under 26 and currently enrolled in school (Ph.D. and below), you may be eligible for travel reimbursement based on your application. Additionally, participants who qualify for our "Make It Happen" program will receive a full scholarship. To ensure the best experience, AdventureX 2025 will provide three meals per day for all hackers, along with unlimited snacks, coffee, and drinks throughout the event. You’ll also have access to extensive computing resources, AI credits, and cutting-edge hardware—completely free of charge. While all planned activities and resources are covered, any additional expenses beyond the event’s provisions will be your responsibility.
You must complete your application through the AdventureX United Portal. Since seats are limited, please provide as much detailed information as possible to help us get to know you better. Once you submit your application, our team will review your materials. AdventureX 2025 follows a rolling admissions process, with multiple batches of seats released. If selected, you will receive an email to confirm your seat. You must complete the confirmation within the specified timeframe—otherwise, your seat will be reallocated to another qualified applicant. Please note that AdventureX 2025 employs a holistic review process, meaning no single factor determines admission. Due to the high volume of applications, we will not conduct interviews. Your application form is the sole basis for our evaluation, so make it count.
Everyone must apply as an individual. Team status is not considered. If you have a frequent hacker partner or co-founder, they must apply separately. Even if you don’t know anyone, we strongly encourage you to apply and join AdventureX 2025. Many past participants arrived without connections but left with lifelong friends and future collaborators.
We have no restrictions on the projects you can create. To guide your innovation, we’ve carefully designed six themes, ensuring that any idea you have will align with at least one of them. Additionally, our sponsors will offer corresponding tracks. You can develop software, websites, hardware, or any technological innovation, participating in one theme and up to eight eligible tracks. To support your creation, we provide free computing power, credits, hardware devices, and 3D printing machines. Our partners will also send technical mentors to assist you in overcoming any challenges. On the final day’s expo, your team will have a booth to showcase your incredible work to the public.
