We established the reverse hackathon to encourage dialogue in and support the development of creative solutions that allow for greater and healthier relationships between people and technology.
Using principles
in human-computer interaction, humane design, software development, and tech ethics, Rehack urges participants to think deeply about their interactions with technology and redesign consumer tech products in a more
meaningful, socially responsible way. No coding experience is necessary!
This spring, Rehack is organizing the
first-ever virtual reverse hackathon on online education. Project tracks include teacher experience, productivity, mental health, and community building.
Identify a problem within existing consumer tech—whether it's unintentional bias, an interface flaw, or other areas in need of attention—and start exploring how you can redesign it.
Work with design and coding tools to create your proposed solution. Don't have any experience with prototyping/coding tools? Don't worry, we have workshops and mentors to help guide you along the way!
Demo your solution to our panel of judges in a format of your choice to get feedback and win prizes!

Rehack is here to help students critically examine technology through an interdisciplinary lens while familiarizing themselves with the product development process of consumer software. All students (undergraduate + graduate) of all academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply! Unlike a traditional hackathon, being technical is not required to succeed at Rehack.
Unfortunately, Rehack is currently only open to undergraduate/graduate students.
Rehack itself is completely free!
