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. What do I build? 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. Do I need a team? 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. What if I've never done this before? 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.
