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.
Requirements
Participants must submit:
• A project title and short description
• A clear explanation of the accessibility problem addressed
• A description of the proposed solution
• A prototype, mockup, concept design, or working demo
• At least 2 images or visual materials showing the project
• A short presentation video (recommended 2–3 minutes)
• Team member names and roles
Projects can be software-based, hardware-based, conceptual, or hybrid.

INGENIA – Engineering What Matters Semana de Ingeniería · 19 y 20 de marzo
En el marco de la Semana de Ingeniería, se llevará a cabo INGENIA – Engineering What Matters, un concurso de innovación organizado por FoxCoding CETYS, enfocado en el diseño de soluciones con impacto social y ambiental, alineadas a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS).
INGENIA está dirigido a estudiantes de ingeniería y preparatoria interesados en aplicar pensamiento ingenieril, creatividad y trabajo colaborativo para resolver problemáticas reales del contexto local.
El enfoque principal está en la idea, el diseño, el impacto y la viabilidad de la solución.
⚠ No es obligatorio programar.
¿De qué trata? Los equipos trabajarán sobre un reto previamente definido. Deberán analizarlo, comprenderlo y transformarlo en una solución clara, creativa y factible, considerando su impacto en la región.
La solución deberá representarse mediante un prototipo (conceptual, físico, visual o de proceso) y comunicarse a través de un pitch estructurado.
RETOS
RETO 1
La contaminación por residuos, especialmente plásticos y desechos industriales, representa uno de los principales desafíos ambientales en muchas ciudades. Gran parte de estos residuos termina en rellenos sanitarios, canales o ecosistemas naturales, generando impactos negativos en el ambiente y en la salud de las comunidades.
Tu desafío es diseñar una solución innovadora que ayude a reducir, reutilizar o transformar residuos, promoviendo prácticas de producción y consumo responsables alineadas con el ODS 12.
Las propuestas pueden enfocarse en soluciones tecnológicas, sociales o educativas que contribuyan a disminuir la generación de residuos y fomentar una economía más circular.
RETO 2
Los adolescentes enfrentan múltiples desafíos relacionados con su bienestar emocional, presión social y exposición a conductas de riesgo. La prevención temprana y la educación pueden jugar un papel clave en la construcción de estilos de vida saludables.
Tu desafío es crear una solución educativa, tecnológica o interactiva que ayude a prevenir adicciones y promover la salud integral en adolescentes.
RETO 3
La tecnología tiene el potencial de mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas, pero también, puede ampliar desigualdades si no se diseña con criterios de inclusión y ética.
Tu desafío es proponer una solución tecnológica o social que contribuya a reducir desigualdades en la comunidad, promoviendo el acceso equitativo a oportunidades, educación o servicios.
RETO 4
Las ciudades fronterizas enfrentan desafíos particulares de movilidad: tráfico intenso, largos tiempos de traslado y limitaciones en el transporte público.
Tu desafío es diseñar una solución tecnológica o conceptual que ayude a mejorar la movilidad urbana, facilitando desplazamientos más eficientes, seguros y sostenibles.
RETO 5
Las altas temperaturas y el consumo energético elevado representan un reto importante para muchas ciudades del norte de México.
Tu desafío es proponer una solución innovadora que mejore la eficiencia energética o promueva el uso de energías limpias en climas extremos.

About the challenge
BACSA Hacks is a 1-day, in-person hackathon hosted by the Biotech and Computer Science Association (BACSA) based at the University of Toronto.
Much like BACSA, the hackathon focuses on the intersection between technology and biology, challenging participants to work in teams while building innovative, data-driven solutions that address real-world health and forensic problems. Through workshops, structured challenges, and engaging activities, participants will gain both an educational and fun experience.
 
Challenge:
 
Open: An open format challenge, where participants can make any product that adheres to the themes of Disease Detection (DNA, image recognition, body scans) or Health Improvement (nutrition trackers, medication trackers etc.)

Closed: Participants will have to build a forensics support system that receives biological evidence from crime scenes and outputs a ranked list of suspects, confidence scores and an analysis explaining the reasoning.  Success is measured not by finding one correct answer, but by how well teams model uncertainty, justify their assumptions, and reason their forensic interpretations
Requirements
What to Submit
Submit the code on Github, and submit on DevPost. 
Students opting for open challenge may submit a video demo explaining their tool for a chance to earn bonus points.
