Theme: Periods, Hormones & Fertility
Join us for a day-long creative sprint focused on building innovative, user-centric solutions that reimagine how we approach menstrual health. From design to code to storytelling—this hackathon is your chance to channel empathy, creativity, and impact into a powerful project.
Problem Statements (Choose One):
Breaking the Period Stigma
How might we help teens and young people talk openly about periods without shame, confusion, or silence
Create bold, relatable stories, tools, or content that normalize periods — in schools, on social media, or within peer groups.
“Something’s Off — But No One’s Listening”
How might we help people who are experiencing frustrating symptoms — like pain, irregular cycles, fatigue, or mood swings — but don’t have a diagnosis or feel dismissed?
Create a tool, web app, or experience that helps them track patterns, feel validated, or advocate for themselves during doctor visits.
Fertility, Demystified
How might we reduce the anxiety and confusion around fertility by helping women understand their options earlier — like egg freezing, egg quality, or hormone testing?
Design an educational tool, web app, or guide that empowers women to explore fertility on their own terms, without fear or fluff.
