Assistive Innovation Challenge is an online hackathon focused on building software that supports accessibility, autonomy, and independence for people with disabilities.
Participants are invited to create assistive technology projects that address real challenges related to communication, mobility, learning, health, daily routines, safety, productivity, or independent living. Projects can be simple or advanced, but they should be designed with a clear purpose: helping people with disabilities navigate the world with greater confidence, access, and independence.
This challenge is open to beginners, students, and experienced developers alike. Participants may compete individually or in teams. The goal is to use technology thoughtfully and responsibly to create something meaningful.
The Assistive Innovation Challenge is not only about building software. It is also about learning, raising awareness, and encouraging more people to think about how technology can be designed for inclusion from the beginning.
Participants should build a software-based assistive technology project that helps improve accessibility, independence, autonomy, or quality of life for people with disabilities.
Projects may include, but are not limited to:
Projects should be original, thoughtful, and focused on real user needs. Your submission should clearly explain who your project is for, what problem it addresses, and how it could help.
