​INCLUCODE A First-of-its-Kind Accessibility Software Buildathon

​Code Inclusive. Build Accessible. Empower Independence.

​INCLUCODE is a focused software innovation buildathon organized by the IEEE Kerala Assistive Technology & Inclusive Innovation Group (ATII) in collaboration with Codex, STRIDE, IEEE IES Hubs & Nodes, FOSS United, IEEE Sahrdaya SB, dedicated entirely to building technology for persons with disabilities and neurodivergent individuals.

​Unlike general hackathons, INCLUCODE challenges developers, designers, and innovators to create practical, inclusive, and accessible digital solutions that improve independence, communication, learning, and digital participation.
