Welcome to Hackathon 2025: Future in Focus 🎉 — hosted by Women in Tech (WIT). This year’s hackathon challenges you to design and develop impactful solutions that address real-world problems in one of two tracks:
🔑 Track 1: Access & Assist – Building tools that improve accessibility, inclusivity, and support for communities.
⚡ Track 2: Organise & Optimise – Creating solutions that streamline processes, improve efficiency, and enhance experiences.
What makes us special?
✨ Cross-disciplinary focus – we welcome both tech and non-tech members to collaborate.
🌍 Community-first projects – every idea should help create a better, more inclusive future.
👩💻 Diversity-driven innovation – all teams include at least one female or non-binary member.
