Make it real! is a 48-hour international hackathon designed as a real-world learning experience for young people under 29.

Instead of focusing on polished ideas or theoretical concepts, participants are encouraged to take action. During the hackathon, teams work on real challenges related to future resilience, build a product or service using AI and digital tools, and test their solutions in real conditions within 48 hours.

A key element of the experience is moving from idea to reality — including aiming to achieve a first real transaction as proof of real-world validation.

Core principle: Better real than perfect.

The hackathon focuses on future resilience, including:
• Economic resilience and innovation
• Community well-being and health
• Climate and environmental resilience
• Digital security and cyber resilience

Participants will:
• Work in international teams (Lithuania, Ukraine, Nordics)
• Go from challenge → solution → prototype → real-world test
• Learn by doing under time pressure
