At the Impact Hackathon on October 1–2, interdisciplinary teams will develop innovative solutions to challenges at the intersection of faith, education, and public administration. We are looking for both digital and non-digital solutions that create meaningful and lasting impact.

The challenges are provided by the Hoffbauer Foundation, which will also host the hackathon at its campus on the peninsula Hermannswerder. Together with experts and mentors, participants will work on practical ideas with the potential to create positive social impact.

You don't need any prior experience—just motivation, creativity, and a passion for teamwork. Students and participants from all disciplines are warmly welcome!

Throughout the event, you will be supported by the Startup Service at the University of Potsdam and staff members of the Hoffbauer Foundation.

Participation is free of charge, but places are limited.

The Impact Hackathon will be held in both German and English. We are committed to an inclusive bilingual formatwhere everyone is welcome and can feel comfortable participating.

Register now! We will ask you at a later stage which challenge you would like to work on.

We look forward to welcoming you!
