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.
