Moonshots 2025

Join us on campus for the eighth annual Stanford Moonshots summer.

Stanford Moonshot Classes

Stanford Moonshots Class of 2018

The first year that Stanford's award-winning ME410 Strategic Foresight & Innovation course was merged with Stanford's official summer Silicon Valley Innovation Academy.

Stanford Moonshots Class of 2019

Building on the success of 2018, this year's Stanford Moonshots exploded in size! We saw a number of alumni return as part of the first Stanford Innovation Sherpas (a certification earned by only a select few people over the years).

Perth Moonshots Class of 2020

Curtin University x Stanford Moonshots (a COVID-19 hybrid intensive)

As Perth flaunted it's COVID-19 free status, the Stanford team partnered with a select handful of our Innovation Sherpa and alumni to run a two-week, deeptech, deepdive, radically intensive program. Teams in Australia worked half of every day with the global Moonshots community, then spent the other half working on-site with the alumni from Curtin University.

Stanford Moonshots Class of 2021

Stanford continued to operate online through the summer of 2021, so Moonshots went online with the Stanford Innovation Studio.

Stanford Moonshots Class of 2022

Moonshots was back on campus, with all of the participants, returning Innovation Sherpas, and our esteemed guests enjoying an almost-entirely outdoor Moonshots program.

ALU Moonshots 2022

African Leadership University x Carnegie Foundation x Stanford Moonshots

We had the honor of work with the inaugural class of the African Leadership University in Silicon Valley. We also met with a select handful of tomorrow's visionary leaders from schools in the United States, all of which was done in close collaboration with the Carnegie Foundation.
