Prevent the Injury Before It Happens: Join the Sports Prevention Hackathon!

Sports are powerful, but injuries can be life-changing. Join us for an inspiring and high-impact hackathon dedicated to preventing sports injuries and raising awareness about injury risks, prevention strategies, and smart technology solutions. Whether you’re an innovator, developer, designer, or athlete, this is your opportunity to turn creative ideas into real-world impact.

The Challenge

Your mission: build a website or digital solution that promotes awareness or directly helps prevent sports injuries.

Choose your path:

  • Build an awareness platform – Create an engaging, educational website to teach athletes, parents, or coaches about injury prevention.

  • Create a digital tool or solution – Design a technology-powered system or app that helps monitor, prevent, or respond to injuries in sports.

Requirements

What to Build

Participants are invited to create a website or application that raises awareness or actively helps prevent sports injuries. Your project can focus on any sport, age group, or audience — athletes, coaches, parents, or healthcare providers.

We encourage creative freedom, so you can take your own approach. Whether it’s:

  • An educational awareness website

  • A health-tracking or early-warning injury detection tool

  • A community-focused platform for sharing safety tips

  • Or something totally unexpected — we’re excited to see it!

Just make sure your project connects clearly to the theme of sports injury prevention.

📦 What to Submit

To enter your project, please include the following:

  • A link to your working website or app (hosted or demo version is fine)

  • A short video demo (around 1–3 minutes) that walks us through how it works and how it addresses the challenge

  • 1–2 sentence pitch briefly explaining your project’s purpose and what problem it solves

  • Optional: GitHub or code repository link if you’d like to show your work

  • Optional: Any notes about tools used, limitations, or what you'd do with more time

We’ve kept the requirements light to give you space to be bold, creative, and experimental. This is about ideas that make a difference.
