GitHub is committed to improving the accessibility of open source software and empowering people with disabilities to actively contribute. In partnership with NV Access, the Center for Accessibility and Open Source and the Northwest Center for Assistive Technology Training, we’re hosting an “Open Source Assistive Technology Hackathon” focused on empowering participants to build skills and make real contributions to the assistive technology tools people rely on every day. New to open source? No problem! We’ll walk through core GitHub contribution workflows (including NVDA and keyboard-only navigation), so you can practice navigating repositories, issues, pull requests, and code reviews with confidence. Whether you’re new to contributing or ready to level up, you’ll leave with practical experience and a clearer path to ongoing open source involvement. Ready to contribute? Join us to contribute to one of our featured open source AT projects! Got a new idea you want to work on? Bring it and work on it with accessibility and technology experts! No need for technical skills!
