aXe Hackathon 2018

Contribute to making the web accessible to people with disabilities at the 3rd Annual aXe-Hackathon on March 24th, 2018. The Hackathon will be lead by Marcy Sutton and Wilco Fiers. We will be...

• Testing open source component libraries and logging accessibility issues
• Working on adding WCAG 2.1 rules to aXe-core
• Sharing knowledge and solutions with our fellow accessibility devotees
• Working on personal accessibility projects
• Hanging out with awesome people and making the web a better place

Who should come?

You should come. And bring your friends. This hackathon is open to all experience levels. If you can download a browser extension, you can test for accessibility. We'll also have some advanced project opportunities for our more seasoned a11y friends.

Will there be food?

Yes! We will provide lunch and a coffee break. We'll email everyone for dietary restrictions closer to the event.

Will there be accessibility accommodations?

We will provide captioning for the opening and closing of the hackathon. The event will mostly consist of people working independently and in small groups on various projects, so it won't be possible to caption absolutely everything said at the event. If you need ASL interpretation or other forms of accommodation, please send an email to caitlin.cashin@deque.com.
