Events by Metana

All Metana events are open to current students, alumni, and prospective learners exploring any of Metana's tracks — Web3, Cybersecurity, AI/Software Engineering, or Fullstack development — so you don't need to already be enrolled in a specific bootcamp to show up. Most sessions run online, which keeps the barrier to attending low no matter where you're based, though the calendar also includes occasional in-person and hybrid formats depending on the event. The lineup spans several formats: live workshops where you build real projects alongside instructors, expert webinars covering tech trends and career paths, high-energy hackathons with prizes and hiring-partner visibility, and casual community meetups for connecting with other builders. Whether you're deep into a bootcamp already, weighing whether Metana is the right fit, or just want to learn from the community, there's a format that fits. The full, up-to-date schedule lives on Metana's public Luma calendar, which anyone can browse and register from directly.

The easiest way to stay current is to book a call with the Metana team — an advisor will walk you through what's coming up next on the calendar, including workshops, webinars, and hackathons relevant to whichever track you're interested in, whether that's Web3, Cybersecurity, AI/Software Engineering, or Fullstack. Beyond that conversation, Metana's events run on a public Luma calendar that lists every upcoming session with its date, time, and format, so you can browse and register for anything that fits your schedule without waiting on a call. Sessions are grouped so you can see what's coming up versus what's already happened, making it easy to plan around your own availability rather than missing something because it wasn't announced clearly. If a particular track — like hackathons or expert webinars — interests you most, mentioning that on the call helps the advisor point you toward the events most worth prioritizing first.

Yes. Past Metana hackathons have awarded cash prizes across multiple tracks, giving participants a concrete reason to ship something real rather than just attend for the learning experience alone. Beyond the prize money, hackathons are also a visibility opportunity: top performers are often introduced directly to Metana's hiring partners, turning a weekend build into a genuine step toward a job lead. That combination — prizes plus hiring-partner exposure — is part of why hackathons tend to be some of the highest-energy events on the calendar, alongside the live workshops and expert webinars Metana also regularly runs. Hackathons aren't limited to a single track either; they've run across Web3, Cybersecurity, AI/Software Engineering, and Fullstack development, so the format and prizes vary by event. The best way to see what's currently on offer for an upcoming hackathon, including prize structure and any partner involvement, is to check the current listing on Metana's public event calendar or book a call with the team.

No — while Web3 hackathons are one of the more visible and popular event formats Metana runs, events span every one of Metana's core bootcamp verticals: Cybersecurity, AI/Software Engineering, Fullstack development, and Web3. That means whichever track you're actually interested in, there's very likely a relevant live workshop, expert webinar, hackathon, or community meetup on the calendar for it, not just for Web3 learners. Live workshops are hands-on sessions where you build real projects alongside instructors across all four verticals, expert webinars dig into tech trends and career paths relevant to each field, and community meetups are casual, global gatherings open to builders from any background. If you've assumed Metana's events are Web3-only because that's the most hackathon-heavy category, it's worth checking the calendar directly — Cybersecurity, AI/Software Engineering, and Fullstack sessions run just as regularly, and the mix shifts depending on what's scheduled that month.

Not necessarily. Many of Metana's workshops and webinars are deliberately open to the public as a low-commitment way to preview what learning with Metana actually feels like — live instruction style, the kind of hands-on projects you'd build, and the community — before you decide to enroll in a full bootcamp. That's especially true of expert webinars and community meetups, which tend to have the lowest barrier to attending and the broadest audience, spanning prospective learners who haven't applied yet, current students, and alumni all in the same session. Some events, particularly certain hackathons or workshops tied closely to an active cohort's curriculum, may be more relevant to enrolled students, but there's no blanket rule requiring enrollment to attend. If you're evaluating whether a specific bootcamp track — Web3, Cybersecurity, AI/Software Engineering, or Fullstack — is right for you, joining a public event in that track first is a reasonable, low-risk way to get a feel for it before committing.
