Our oceans, seas, and inland waterways are vital to life on Earth—but much of their value remains invisible. This online hackathon invites changemakers to address ocean blindness through the power of digital storytelling.

We're looking for bold, creative teams to craft compelling educational stories—visual, interactive, immersive, or multimedia—about aquatic ecosystems and blue economy themes. Whether it’s about coral reefs, river histories, climate impacts, or underwater cultural heritage, we want to see fresh formats and perspectives.

Participants will explore and use AI tools, open data, and digital education platforms to create concepts or rapid prototypes. You don’t need to be a coder—we welcome educators, artists, writers, students, scientists, and designers.

The best ideas will receive mentoring and support to further develop their stories into scalable learning experiences that foster ocean literacy for all.

Let’s co-create stories that shift perceptions and inspire action.
