What to Build
Tracks are goals to directly target your projects around. You will be able to choose a track to submit your project to.
1. Health and Wellness
With the COVID-19 pandemic highlighting the importance of good health, this track could focus on developing solutions related to improving healthcare accessibility and affordability, promoting healthy lifestyles, and preventing the spread of disease.
2. Sustainable Communities
In recent years, there have been numerous incidents in the US that have put young people at risk, such as school shootings. How can we utilize technology to enhance the safety of children, students, and young adults within our communities?"
3. Inclusive Education
How can we use technology to improve access to education and promote social justice for all students, regardless of their background or location? This track could focus on developing solutions related to online learning, language translation, adaptive technologies for students with disabilities, combating discrimination and prejudice, supporting marginalized communities, and promoting equal opportunities.
