🌍The DEIJ Hackathon: Build for Inclusion & Justice
Join us for the DEIJ Hackathon, a one-day event dedicated to building a more Diverse, Equitable, Inclusive, and Just (DEIJ) tech future — cohosted by Social Impact SF, Design Buddies, CoCreate, Remotely Good, the AI HomeGirl, and more.
Whether you’re a coder, designer, founder, or creative problem solver, this is your chance to create — or reimagine — tools that make technology and workplaces more inclusive for everyone across gender, race, class, ability, orientation, and more.
💡 What You’ll Do
In just one day, you’ll:
Build or enhance new or existing apps that advance inclusion, accessibility, and representation.
Collaborate with mission-driven builders, founders, and technologists.
Learn from lightning talks on bias in tech and inclusive design.
Pitch your project to a panel of judges for prizes and recognition.
🏆 Two Challenge Tracks
Inclusive Upgrade: Make an existing product more inclusive or accessible.
DEIJ Innovation: Build something brand new that tackles inequity or amplifies underrepresented voices.
