Impact Spotlights are free monthly events that highlight our community of engineers and the technologies that help them develop solutions to enable a better world.
November's Spotlights will showcase open and sustainable solutions and connected health-related projects and products that have produced tangible results in real-world deployments.
Advanced 24/7 hospital medical monitors
Medical imaging systems
Advanced assistive technology
Serving patients in a hospital, elderly living independently at home, elite athletes, and active adults
Reliability, security, accuracy, ease-of-use, and long-life battery operation
October's Spotlights will showcase open and sustainable solutions and smart energy-related projects and products that have produced tangible results in real-world deployments.
Battery formation architectures
The role of wide-bandgap devices within ESS architectures
On-grid solar systems
Low, medium and high voltage connectors
Minimize power loss, extend system durability, and enhance efficiency & safety
September's Spotlights will showcase open and sustainable solutions and smart agriculture-related projects and products that have produced tangible results in real-world deployments.
Predictive maintenance, such as crop yield analytics
Agricultural robotics and drones
Electrification of equipment
IoT sensors to track crops and cattle
Optimizing water management and energy consumption with AI

The concept of Hackster Impact came to life in 2017 when we realized that we had the unique opportunity to use our platform as a vehicle to accelerate the #TechForGood narrative, connecting developers to resources and technologies with our industry partners and provide companies the opportunity to showcase the impact of the work they’re doing.
Since 2017, we have hosted contests and initiatives focused on sustainability and technology to better the planet, including the Elephant Edge contest, partnering with AARP, and working with the UNDP.
Hackster’s inaugural Impact Summit was organized as a free, two-day virtual developer summit focusing the #TechForGood messaging on how to measure, monitor and report on activities impacting Earth’s air and water resources (Impact Summit 2022 playlist).
Impact Summit returned in 2023, this time focusing on sustainable and resilient cities (Impact Summit 2023 playlist). More specifically, how machine learning, advanced data analytics and IoT in the field can transform the way in which infrastructure, public services, and essential facilities can be more efficiently maintained in urban environments.
In 2024, we are focusing on the most impactful individuals we know: our Hackster community! Join us as we highlight and celebrate sustainable solutions created by Hackster members in our Impact Spotlights.
Thanks to our partners for making Impact Spotlights 2024 possible:
