In the shared mission of creating a global movement of future-oriented talents and young changemakers, a Moonshot Pirates Bootcamp is an independently organized event for young people between 14-19 years old to help them explore new technologies, find their passion, get advice from mentors and experts and start building what matters.

These local, independently organized Bootcamps are branded Moonshot Pirates with a city/place name following the name, where the city/place stands for independently organized Moonshot Pirates Bootcamp. The Moonshot Pirates Brand provides general guidance for the Moonshot Pirates Bootcamp Global Organizers, but individual Moonshot Pirates Bootcamps are organized independently.
