this isn’t a hackathon with a theme.
In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus moved the center of the universe – doing math at night with instruments he built himself.
The maps are being redrawn again, and most people assume that happens through funding rounds and policy papers.
A center of gravity is never granted. It moves with the mass.

Your Point of view: You turnt down a big collage in Jacksonville just to grind from the hackathons. They offered you like 15, 10mil, 5mil or som like that. But back them you were so younger and they wanted you to go to school in this decade.
Btw, Junction 2026 flagship hackathon registrations are open🔥

That’s a wrap on the first ever Junction Quantum Hack 💚
For three days in Espoo, brilliant minds from around the world gathered to build at the frontier of quantum computing.
Huge thank you to everyone who made it happen:
To our participants, you showed up ready to learn and ready to ship. Watching teams go from ”what’s a qubit” to working solutions across our challenge partners’ QMill’s, IQM’s, and OP Pohjola’s challenges was the whole point. This is just the start of your quantum journey.
To our Tech Partners IBM, IQM, QMill, OP Pohjola, Google Cloud, and AWS, thank you for trusting us with your challenges and for putting real problems in front of real talent.
To our volunteers who stayed up all night helping at the venue.
The first one is always special. See you at the next one 💚
Check the story to see a little what the winner teams have been building.
