• Global Health & Wellness: Apps or websites focusing on mental health, fitness, or helping people access medical resources.

• Education & Accessibility: Software that makes learning easier, fun, or more accessible for students worldwide.

• Sustainability & Environment: Projects aimed at reducing carbon footprints, tracking recycling, or raising awareness about climate change.

What to Submit

• Video Demo (Max 3 Minutes): A short video showing your project in action.

  • Tip: Briefly introduce your team, explain the problem, and spend most of the time showing a live demo of your working prototype!
