IDEAS FOR IMPACT

10 Feb 2023

IDEAS FOR IMPACT is a 12 hour hackathon designed to find new ideas to solve the world’s biggest problems. 

 The title for  IDEAS FOR IMPACT this Spring 2023 is  INNOVATING HEALTHCARE and it’s all about finding innovative ways to overcome challenges faced by healthcare providers.
 
If selected to participate, you’ll work on a small team with students from different areas of study and diverse backgrounds and will receive the support of experienced innovation and entrepreneurship mentors. You’ll have 12 hours to develop an innovative idea that can positively help healthcare providers overcome challenges. And you’ll have the chance to pitch your idea to a panel of experts. The best ideas will win an award and a cash prize.
 
IDEAS FOR IMPACT is open to all  UCC undergraduate and post graduate students from all four colleges. All you need is an open mind, an interest in getting involved and a passion to make a difference.
 
We’ll kick off with an introductory breakfast at 08.00 and finish with live pitches at 19.00. Along the way we’ll set the challenge, provide advice on creative thinking, business model development, team working and pitching skills, and have expert mentors on hand to help you develop your ideas. And we’ll even include lunch and dinner.
