Some problems are too important to ignore. ImpactForge is an online hackathon for builders who want to do more than just build cool things — they want to build things that matter. Whether you're tackling education, mental health, accessibility, the environment, or something else entirely, this is your space to turn a real problem into a real solution.
No experience required. No strict theme. Just a genuine desire to make something that helps people.
Start with a problem that bothers you. Something in your community, your school, your neighborhood, or the world at large. Then build something — an app, a tool, a platform, anything — that takes a real swing at solving it.
Solo or squad, both are welcome. Sometimes the best ideas come from one person with a clear vision. Sometimes they come from three people arguing productively in a group chat.
Perfect, actually. ImpactForge is built for mixed skill levels — beginners and experienced builders work side by side. Mentors are available throughout to help you when you hit a wall.
Keep it simple. Here's what you need.
1. Project Name
What's your project called?
2. The Story Behind It
Tell us about what you built:
3. Proof of Work (Required)
Show us what you built. Upload at least one screenshot, demo video, or file that shows your project in action. No working project? Show us the design or prototype — something visual is required.
4. Project Link (Optional but Encouraged)
A GitHub repo, live demo, or any link that gives judges a closer look at your work.
5. Impact Statement
In a few sentences, explain the real-world impact of your project. Who benefits? How does it help them? This is ImpactForge — tell us why it matters.
6. Your Team
List everyone involved and what they contributed. Solo? Just your name is fine.
