What to Build

Submissions to the hackathon are not restricted to a specific type. There are no limits, and you can submit as many materials as you think we would need to fully understand your project. We only ask that it is relevant to one of our three tracks.

In general, code-based projects will be judged more highly than simple ideas, but that depends from case to case. All submissions will be taken into consideration for prizes and awards.

HACKATHON TRACKS

1 Health & Wellness - How can you use technical innovation to address modern public health challenges like a pandemic, mental health, nutrition, fitness, among others?

2 Sustainable Growth - How can you use technology to improve environmental sustainability? What social, cultural, political or economic measures can be taken to empower voices of underrepresented groups and how can tech make a difference in the role they play?

3 Security & Privacy - What security challenges do we face in modern online and offline world with the permeance of technology into every aspect of life? How will you solve them in accessible ways?
