Hackathon

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#

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.
