Last week, a part of the 42 Portugal team packed their laptops and flew to Tirana for the 42 Global Seminar. 🇦🇱

A brand-new campus inside a pyramid, 42 campuses from across the world, and a few days packed with ideas, conversations, debates, and pitches.
We came back inspired, connected, and with more ideas than we can git push. 💻

Faleminderit, @42.tirana, for having us! 🖤❤️

Nine weeks, one stage, and a room full of nerves turning into pride. 🚀

Last week, our ii∞ students took the stage for Demo Day - presenting the products they’ve been building since day one, in front of a jury of founders and the 42 Lisboa and 42 Porto community.

We caught up with a few of them right after they stepped off stage, still buzzing from the moment. They are proud of the work and of how far their idea had come since week one.

From a first hunch to a live pitch in Unicorn Factory Lisboa - this is what nine weeks of bending the odds looks like. 🌐

📊 No diplomas. No classrooms. No entrance exams.

And yet, in 2025, 42 Portugal graduates got hired faster, rated higher by employers, and placed across more industries than most traditional pipelines can promise.

This is what happens when you measure an education by outcomes, not by credentials. 🚀

Life around the cluster through the eyes of our . 📸🌊

From Piscine 18 in Porto to Piscine 25 in Lisboa, the days are filled with focus, shared screens, quick questions, different approaches and laughs in between.

That’s peer-to-peer learning at 42 Portugal: learning side by side and figuring things out together. 💻🤝

What does a week inside the Infinite Improbability Engine look like? 🌐

Six teams. Two cities. A lot of ideas being tested, challenged and rebuilt.

During one of ii∞’s in-person weeks, our students in 42 Lisboa and 42 Porto came together to work on their concepts, refine their prototypes and move one step closer to Demo Day.

We also asked them how it was going - the hardest moments, the best ones, and everything in between. 🚀

One improbable idea at a time.

Taking this life changing experience are more than 250 candidates, aged between 17 and 63, representing 28 nationalities, and with 60% taking their first steps in programming. 💻

Researchers, engineers, musicians, teachers, police officers and many more: completely different backgrounds and experiences, all brought together by the same challenge.

A chance to learn differently, push their limits and discover just how far they can go. 🚀

And there’s a little 42 easter egg in this round: Piscine #18 in Porto is officially the 42nd Piscine held by 42 in Portugal. 🇵🇹
