Impacthon is a 12-hour student challenge inviting students to tackle real, urgent problems
and build solutions that actually hold up in the real world.
In this edition, participants step into an immersive narrative world where three villains
represent the forces quietly working against our cities, our health, and our curiosity. They
choose the theme that hits closest to home, define their own challenge, and spend the day
sharpening their instincts, collaborating across disciplines, and pitching a real solution to
peers and experts.
The three themes for Impacthon 2026 are:
● Health & Wellbeing – tackling burnout, mental health, loneliness, and access to care
● Climate & Environment – addressing waste, biodiversity loss, pollution, and
sustainable living
● Education & Culture – confronting unequal access to learning, representation, and
knowledge
