Build solutions that address environmental and sustainability challenges using science, data, and technology.
EcoHack challenges participants to design technology-driven solutions that address pressing environmental and ecological issues. Teams will work at the intersection of environmental science, biology, sustainability, and data to tackle challenges such as food equity, waste management, climate resilience, and ecosystem health. With guidance and real-world context from sustainability experts, researchers, and community partners, participants are encouraged to create tools that promote environmental justice, conservation, and long-term planetary health.
Design technology-driven solutions to improve urban life.
CityHack invites participants to reimagine cities as more equitable, efficient, and livable spaces. This track focuses on urban challenges shaped by social, economic, and political systems, encouraging teams to explore how technology can improve city services, civic engagement, housing, transportation, and community well-being. Drawing inspiration from the Initiative on Cities, teams will work with urban data and real policy challenges to build solutions that strengthen communities and improve quality of life in urban environments.
Develop innovative tools to support students, educators, and learning environments.
EduHack challenges participants to innovate within education systems, from K–12 to higher education. In collaboration with Wheelock and local education partners, teams will explore how technology—especially AI and data-driven tools—can enhance learning outcomes, support educators, and promote equitable access to education. Solutions should center students, teachers, and communities, addressing real challenges in classrooms and educational institutions.
Create tools that improve access to justice and promote fairness in legal and criminal justice systems.
JusticeHack centers on improving access to justice and rethinking legal and criminal justice systems through technology. Participants will collaborate with legal experts, public defenders, and advocacy organizations to build tools that increase transparency, fairness, and accessibility within courts, legal processes, and community justice efforts. This track emphasizes ethical design, social impact, and real-world applicability, especially for communities most affected by systemic inequities.
