What is de impacthon?

During the impacthon you will work in diverse teams to solve and create a prototype for a realistic problem. The final output may consist of (virtual) concepts, prototypes, or frameworks that address real-life challenges.

Theme

This year the theme is about heroes versus villains, where you become the hero to solve either a problem defined by yourself or challenge one of the three villains:

  • The Wellbeing Wrecker: What does it take to build a world where mental and physical health are truly within everyone’s reach?
  • The Planet Destroyer: The climate, the environment, and all living things are under pressure. So who’s really going to take action?

  • The Curiosity Crusher: Education, culture, and curiosity should be available to everyone. So why isn’t that the case?
