Build a tool that helps a family — no code.
The CoTrackPro Builder Hackathon: ship a working tool that helps one family-law professional do one hard thing better — document, organize, communicate, or stay safe — built entirely in the no-code drag-and-drop builder. The win condition is simple: what can you ship in a weekend?
Educational and informational only — not legal or clinical advice. This platform supports sensitive family-law work: use synthetic demo data only, keep output child-centered and trauma-informed, and never expose a confidential tier. These rules are part of the judging criteria (below).
The challenge#
Use the CoTrackPro builder to ship a working tool for one professional role — Parent, Attorney, GAL, Therapist, School Counselor, Caseworker, Advocate, or any supported role. A "tool" is anything that helps that person document, organize, communicate, or stay safe — built in the drag-and-drop builder, with no code required.
Who it's for#
- Practitioners — attorneys, GALs, therapists, advocates, counselors, and other family-law professionals. No coding required.
- Builders / developers — extend tools with the SDK, CLI, and plugin layer.
- Everyone is welcome on either side of that line.
Tracks#
| Track | For | Judged primarily on |
|---|---|---|
| Practitioner | Non-technical professionals | Real-world usefulness |
| Builder / Developer | Technical participants | Creativity + reusability |
| Accessibility & Safety | Anyone | Clarity, redaction, de-escalation, trauma-informed UX |
A single Best Overall is selected across all tracks.
Rules & safety (required reading)#
These rules are non-negotiable and are part of the judging criteria.
- Synthetic data only. Use the provided demo material. Never upload, paste, or reference real case details, names, or identifying information.
- No PII anywhere. Demos, screenshots, and recordings must use only synthetic/demo data.
- Share-safe by default. Tools that produce output must respect the shareable / redacted tier — nothing may expose a confidential tier.
- Child-centered tone. Output must avoid accusatory or inflammatory language; describe behavior, use a child's initials. Trauma-informed framing is judged, not optional.
- Respect the agreement. All participants accept the Participant Agreement and the Code of Conduct before building.
Judging criteria#
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| Real-world usefulness | 30% |
| Child-centered / trauma-informed framing | 20% |
| Built with the no-code builder | 20% |

| Polish / completeness | 15% |
