Join us for the AI + Learning Differences Hackathon! Get ready to be part of a one-day hackathon dedicated to transforming education for learners with disabilities through the power of AI.

This all-day event brings together technologists, educators, students, and families to prototype AI-driven solutions supporting learning differences. Attendees will collaborate in teams, contribute their expertise to define key challenges, and work together to develop and present actionable solutions.

This event is presented by the Stanford Accelerator for Learning and is made possible through the generosity of the Alana Foundation, and in collaboration with the CAST, the Children’s Health Council (CHC), and the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI).

🚀 Who’s Invited? Families, educators, technologists, hackers, and students passionate about AI and learning differences. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started, this event is for YOU!

💡Hackathon Challenge:
