We are working with our Volunteer Product Managers (vPMs) to create a 3‑slide pitch deck that will be presented at the hackathon along with a Software Requirements Doc (SRD) for each nonprofit.

Nonprofit Problems Finalized

Check back on this page for nonprofit problems that hackers will work on.

Nonprofit Problems Announced

Welcome! We'll be in‑person at ASU in Tempe, Arizona. Start reviewing nonprofits and problems to solve. We only have budget to support 90 hackers with delicious food so get in line early – only the first 90 hackers will be admitted and we'll add everyone else to a [#waitlist](https://opportunity-hack.slack.com/archives/C07QMHBRGKD).

✨ Doors Open

Kickoff: Welcome, logistics, and rules

Nonprofits pitch their problems to hackers.  These are kept secret until just before the hackathon and are published on DevPost via an update which also is emailed to all hackers.

Nonprofit Pitches

Teams form and select their nonprofit problem to work on. 
1. Listen to nonprofit pitches and rank your choices

✅ Judge Check-in

Join the 2026 ASU WiCS Hackathon, OHack is partnering with Women in Computer Science (WiCS) on March 28‑29 2026 in Tempe, Arizona. Hackers will sprint through a 2-day challenge that pairs teams with real‑world nonprofit problems, guided by industry mentors and a panel of seasoned judges. 

This mission‑driven event will help hack innovative tech solutions that empower underserved communities while offering participants hands‑on experience, networking opportunities, and a chance to win cash prizes and industry exposure.

WIAL is a global non-profit dedicated to advancing Action Learning methodology. Founded by Dr. Michael Marquardt based on Reg Revans' work, WIAL certifies Action Learning Coaches and helps organizations solve business challenges while developing leaders.

World Institute for Action Learning

Established in 1995, the Chandler CARE Center is a school-based family resource center. The Center's mission is to promote students’ school readiness, attendance, and academic success by providing medical treatment, social services, parent education programs, and referrals. Most services are free of charge to families thanks to the many funders, professionals, and service organizations contributing financially and volunteering their services. The Center opened at San Marcos Elementary School in 1995, providing a small scope of essential services to Chandler and Chandler Unified School District youth. Over time, the community grew and our programs grew with it; in order to accommodate more services the free-standing Chandler CARE Center was opened on the campus of Galveston Elementary School in 2010
