ImpactEd projects are being taught by educators at pioneering universities.
OUR MODEL
Our approach is focused on enabling educators, students, and partners to find success.
Before developing ImpactEd, we spent two years meeting with educators, students, and real-world organizations across six continents. In the process, we learned about the needs of higher education and the workforce. This ultimately led us to design a system that enables universities to bring their existing learning practices into the 21st century.
College educators
Our projects increase student engagement, self-reliance, and understanding of course material.

Below are some of the project areas that students are solving today through collaboration with some of the world's top companies, government agencies, and nonprofits. Together, we empower the leaders of tomorrow to grow by solving the challenges of today.
ABOUT
ImpactEd was started by recent graduates who felt the frustrations of higher education. We were among 100 million university students around the world who spend four years solving theoretical problems. So we set out on a mission to connect students with the challenges that matter today. By engaging students in real world problem solving, we empower them to sharpen the skills demanded by the 21st century. ImpactEd projects complement curriculum to teach critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and collaboration. By working within the university system, this model trains future generations to be both productive and purpose-driven.
