A collaboration between Google Boulder and the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship, the Colorado Impact Hackathon is a one-day, fast-paced innovation sprint where students team up with Google technical professionals to design bold solutions to Colorado’s most pressing climate and energy challenges. This learning opportunity brings together interdisciplinary student teams, partnering with Googler Guides, to tackle real-world issues such as clean energy workforce shortages, electric vehicle adoption, rural charging infrastructure, and building electrification.

Throughout the day, teams will move from problem discovery to solution design, building actionable prototypes and presenting their ideas to a panel of judges. The experience blends entrepreneurship, innovation, and climate action—empowering students to develop practical solutions that could shape Colorado’s sustainable future.
