CTRL-V Hackathon

CTRL-V is an online hackathon focused on one mission: making access easier.

We believe technology should remove barriers, not create them. Whether it's access to education, healthcare, information, opportunities, communities, or essential services, there are still millions of people facing unnecessary obstacles every day.

Your challenge is to use AI and technology to build a solution that improves accessibility in any form.

Participants can create:

AI-powered applications
Websites and web platforms
Mobile apps
Developer tools
Educational technologies
Community-driven solutions
Accessibility-focused products
Any other innovative technology that helps people access what they need more easily

Whether you're a student, developer, designer, entrepreneur, or simply someone with an idea, CTRL-V is your opportunity to build something meaningful.

Why CTRL-V?

The name comes from one of the most powerful shortcuts in technology: Ctrl + V.

Just as Ctrl + V allows us to instantly transfer information, we challenge participants to create technologies that help people access opportunities, knowledge, and resources more efficiently.

Build. Innovate. Access.
