Code for Change is a global online student hackathon hosted by HackathonForEveryone. Participants are invited to build a practical technology project that helps people, communities, or the planet.
Whether you focus on education, accessibility, health, climate, community connection, or another meaningful challenge, the goal is to create something useful, thoughtful, and ready to share. You can work independently or with a team. Bring an idea, build a prototype, and show how it can make a positive difference.
What to Build Create a new technology project that addresses a real-world social-impact challenge. Eligible projects may be web, mobile, hardware, AI, data, design, or another original technical prototype.
What to Submit Submit a Devpost project page with a clear project description, a demo video or live demo link, any source code or build instructions needed to evaluate the project, and the names of all team members.
Judging Criteria Projects will be evaluated based on: * Impact: How meaningfully the project addresses a real-world problem and benefits people, communities, or the planet. * Originality: How creative and distinctive the idea, approach, or solution is. * Technical Execution: How well the project is built, including functionality, quality, and appropriate use of technology. * Presentation: How clearly the project, demo, and its value are communicated.
