About

At AccessHack, we challenge participants to immerse themselves in understanding disability and innovating technologies to enhance accessibility. In this ideathon, your team will have 4 hours to conceptualize a new assistive technology or a solution that addresses an accessibility barrier faced by people with disabilities. You can focus on any single disability or multiple disabilities. Your prototype can range from sketches and paper prototypes to digital mock-ups—use your strengths to demonstrate your commitment to accessibility. When planning your project, we strongly encourage you to connect with people with disabilities to learn firsthand about what would make the world more accessible to them. If you or someone on your team is disabled, consider projects that will address your own accessibility barriers. By engaging in conversations with disabled individuals and learning about their experiences, you will gain valuable insights that will inform the development of meaningful and impactful prototypes. Remember, the ultimate goal of AccessHack is to empower disabled individuals and promote inclusivity through innovative solutions. Best of luck on your journey of discovery and innovation!
