​⚡ Shipfast Hackathon w/ Anthropic, Cerebras, Lovable and Windsurf

​Join us on Saturday, July 26th, at École 42 in Paris, for a bold 1-day hackathon with 100 top builders from France’s leading schools.

​Unaite brings together the AI clubs of École Polytechnique, CentraleSupélec, Télécom Paris, École des Ponts, ENSAE, HEC, ESSEC, and Université Paris Dauphine - PSL.
For this event, Unaite is teaming up with:

• ​Just Build It — a fast-growing community of makers who launch ambitious projects fast

• ​42AI — the AI community of École 42, France’s most selective programming school

​You’ll have 8 hours to turn an idea into a working demo — no slides, no fluff, just bold bets and working code.
Let’s see what happens when top students, self-taught hackers, and AI founders collide.
