🌐 Accessibility for All

Create technology that includes everyone.

In this hackathon, you’ll design tools, games, or apps that make digital experiences more inclusive and empowering, especially for people with disabilities or diverse needs. Whether it's a voice-activated study buddy for students with motor impairments, a colorblind-friendly game interface, or an app that translates text into audio in real time, your challenge is to think beyond the average user.

Accessibility isn’t just a feature—it’s a mindset. Your project should aim to reduce barriers, improve usability, and champion equal access for all.

Let’s build a world where technology doesn’t leave anyone behind.
