Pick a gap you care about
Ten Tracks
Eight build tracks and two special awards. Enter the one that fits your idea — every project is eligible for the awards on top.
Track 01
Education Access
Build tools that bridge learning gaps and make education more accessible for underserved students. Think tutoring platforms, scholarship finders, study tools for first-gen students, or anything that removes a barrier between a learner and the resources they need.
Track 02
Healthcare Navigation
Build tech that helps people find, understand, and access healthcare. Whether it’s navigating insurance, finding affordable care, connecting patients to mental health resources, or making health information more accessible — bridge the gap between people and the care they deserve.
Track 03
Language & Communication
Break down language barriers and connect communities across languages and cultures. Translation tools, multilingual resource platforms, communication aids for the hearing or visually impaired, or anything that makes information accessible regardless of the language you speak.
Track 04
Financial Literacy
Build tools that help underserved communities manage money, access banking, understand financial systems, or build wealth. Budget trackers, financial education platforms, tools for first-gen college students navigating FAFSA — close the gap between people and financial opportunity.
Track 05
Environmental Sustainability
Build tech that addresses environmental challenges and promotes sustainability. Clean energy tools, waste reduction platforms, climate education apps, sustainable living trackers, or anything that helps communities take action on environmental issues.
Track 06
Community & Social Good
Build tech that strengthens communities and creates positive social impact. Mutual aid platforms, volunteer coordination tools, civic engagement apps, neighborhood resource hubs — anything that brings people together and makes communities stronger.
Track 07
Women’s Issues
Build tech that addresses challenges women face — from safety and reproductive health to workplace equity, childcare access, or gender-based discrimination. Create tools that advocate for, support, and uplift women in their everyday lives.
Track 08
Open Innovation
Have an idea that doesn’t fit neatly into the other tracks but still builds a bridge to something? This track is for you. Build anything that connects people to resources, opportunities, or communities they’ve been locked out of.
