About the Hackathon

Biology needs builders. UnivaBio brings students worldwide together to build tools that make healthcare smarter, earlier, and more accessible.

About the challengeUnivaBiois a global student competition open to students aged 13+ hosted collaboratively byBioCataalysisandUnivaDevin support of innovation at the intersection of healthcare and technology.Theme:Artificial Intelligence for Human HealthThis event specifically brings together young innovators from worldwide to explore AI technology’s role in human health. Working individually or in teams, participants will design and build a meaningful technical product that helps people detect illness earlier, understand it better, or live with it more easily.Your project can take almost any form: an app, a website, a simulation, a system, or an algorithm. This can be an AI EdTech app teaching about specific health concepts, a classification model trained on imaging datasets, or an innovation that one wants to propose that has significant medical implications.You are encouraged to use AI assistants while building. We want the technical barrier to be low enough that beginners with ambitious ideas can actually ship them. What matters is that you understand what you built and can explain it. Be prepared to walk judges through your own code.
