The challenge for real-world impact
What is the Impacthon?
Impacthon is a 12-hour student challenge organised by PLNT Leiden and PLNT Students. Working in diverse teams, participants join a hands-on interdisciplinary experience where they explore one of three available themes. 🚀
This year’s overall theme, ‘Nourishing Neighbourhoods’, allows participants to define their own problem and challenge within one of the following:
What will you do during the Impacthon?
- Identify and frame a real-world problem
- Research and explore the context
- Ideate and prototype a solution
- Collaborate across disciplines and perspectives
- Pitch their concept to peers and partners
Their final outputs include concepts, prototypes, or frameworks that address real-life challenges.
