Build, test, and present your solution during the 40-hour competition with mentor support.

natIgnite 2026 challenges participants to design new ideas, technologies, or systems that improve accessibility. Projects may address physical accessibility, digital accessibility, financial accessibility, or more inclusive services and environments. By rethinking how systems are designed, we can remove barriers and create opportunities for more people.
