About the Hackathon
Co-design practical technology solutions that improve accessibility, independence, and everyday inclusion for people with disabilities through collaborative innovation.
Design for Everyone Hackathon is a student-led innovation event focused on accessibility, inclusion, and human-centered technology.Hosted by The Merge, this hackathon invites students, young innovators, and creators to develop practical solutions that improve everyday life for people with disabilities. Participants are encouraged to work on ideas that address real accessibility challenges in education, mobility, communication, independence, and social participation.What makes this hackathon special is its collaborative spirit: technology is not built only for people, but with awareness of real human needs. Teams are challenged to combine creativity, design thinking, and technical skills in order to propose solutions that are meaningful, realistic, and socially impactful.Projects may include digital platforms, smart devices, assistive tools, robotics concepts, AI-powered systems, or simple prototypes that improve accessibility in daily life.The hackathon welcomes both technical and non-technical participants, making it a space where engineering meets empathy and innovation serves inclusion.Participants will have access to mentoring, inspiration resources, and a final showcase where selected projects will be highlighted for their innovation, feasibility, and impact.
