The following announcement is from [Inclusive Coding Festival]. Please contact them directly if you have any questions.
Calling all college students and new grads!
Inclusive Coding Festival 2026 (inclusivecodingfestival.org) is a mentor-powered, accessibility-focused tech initiative that provides mentor-guided technical project experiences for college students and new graduates. It culminates in a one-day conference on October 10, 2026 that brings together students, industry leaders, and educators to explore AI and inclusive design in the future of computing.
To participate in the mentor-guided project experience, students need to register their project first by May 22nd and their individual or team project will be matched with a mentor from industry. The mentoring process will be virtual for 6 weeks in summer through online meetings and email communications. Selected projects will be invited to present in a hybrid format on the day of the conference and will be judged for awards. We encourage the theme of accessibility and neurodiversity, while coding projects of all kinds are welcome to register and participate!
