Build Station runs October 3 to 7 at Marina Pivovar in Prague: five days where Czech and Slovak builders take a Solana project from idea to shipped, with mentors, technical support, and team matching on site. It is the main stage of [Zero to Hero 2.0](https://buildstation.cz/), SolanaCZE's builder program for Czechia and Slovakia, and ack3 is one of the partners.

## From ideathons to Colosseum

Zero to Hero 2.0 opened in mid-September with ideathons in Brno, Bratislava, Zlín, Pilsen, and Prague. Build Station is where the program converges, and teams that ship there continue into Colosseum, Solana's global hackathon, with a $100,000+ Colosseum prize pool, $10,000+ in local prizes, and a $250,000 investment opportunity on top. Entry is free, no prior web3 experience is required, and registration is at [buildstation.cz](https://buildstation.cz/).

Solana security is daily work for our auditors, from [audits](/research/glossary/audit/) to [wake.sol](https://github.com/ack3-ai/wake.sol), our new open-source Python testing and fuzzing harness for Solana programs. Build Station brings the next Czech and Slovak teams into that ecosystem; that is worth backing.
