Applications are reviewed.---### The Three TracksPick one when you apply. Build for it all day.🛂 Immigration — Papers & ProcessStatus, documents, deadlines, and the systems that decide who belongs. Think intake triage for legal aid clinics, plain-language explainers for immigration forms, interpreter tooling, case-status tracking, know-your-rights assistants.🏥 Healthcare — Care Without BarriersLanguage, coverage, and access for patients the system was never built for. Think interpretation at the point of care, insurance navigation, discharge instructions people can actually read, community health worker tooling, prescription and benefits literacy.💵 Finance — Banking the UnbankedCredit, remittances, and building wealth without a financial history. Think remittance transparency, credit-building for thin-file borrowers, small business bookkeeping for cash operations, benefits and tax navigation, fraud protection for first-generation account holders.Cash prize per track — amount to be announced.---### You don't need to be an engineerThis room is deliberately mixed.Immigration attorneys, nurses, community health workers, social workers and financial counselors build alongside engineers — because the teams that win these things are the ones with someone who knows the problem from the inside.If that's you, you belong here.
