Code for Impact

Learn, connect, and create an app or game that could change the world!

Free Online Event: 28th-29th September 2024

Code for Impact takes place online across 2 days. You’ll start by learning about how to create a potentially impactful idea, through virtual workshops and resources, on the first day. Then, on the second day, you'll get to bring your idea, which could be an app, game or something else entirely, to life with code. You’ll create something awesome, and the best entries will win prizes!

Learn valuable skills!

If you aspire to do something good to make the world a better place, the knowledge you'll gain through the hackathon will enable you to achieve this goal. You’ll learn how to identify a niche that you can make progress on, and gain understanding on how you can have an impact

Code for Fun!

Half of the hackathon's time will be dedicated to coding, which may be alone or in a small team. Sharpen your skills and add some awesome projects to your portfolio!
