June 3: Disaster Hack, a San Francisco-based technology INGO, is organising Assistive Technology Hackathon from June 1 to 8 at Thapathali Campus with an aim to bring together engineers, experts, and differently-abled people to create innovative solutions to the challenges faced by differently-abled people.

The event aims to utilize human thinking to invent assistive technology for helping people overcome their disabilities. According to the organisers, the event has 92 participants in the hackathon and they will be designing assistive technology devices (hardware and software) to create technological solutions for differently-abled people.  Along with them, 20 differently abled people will also be present throughout the session to help those innovators by providing them suggestions on creating real world viable solutions for them.

“In addition to the competition’s prizes, if viable solutions are generated, we will be providing business incubation to qualified teams, connecting them with venture capital, business development experts, and other resources necessary to take their ideas to the global market,” the organisers said.

 

Disaster Hack is organising the eight-day event in partnership with Tribhuvan University, Curtin University, PAC Asia, Locus, RAC Thapathali, WLIT, Makervalley,  and Swopna Digital.
