What we’re about
With Code for America sunsetting the national brigade framework, Impact Hub Houston is committed to continue convening purpose-driven problem solvers to improve communities, inspire civic engagement, and increase innovation empowerment for impactful outcomes. In that spirit, we are migrating our annual City of Houston Hackathon, monthly Open Project Nights, Climathon Houston, and other impact + innovation events under the Impact Hub Houston umbrella of "Ideas to Impact" -- an initiative open to all who want to tackle challenges for the greater good.
We're always looking for great people to help shape, facilitate, energize and lead this group. It's a volunteer role that can connect you with our local innovation ecosystem and Impact Hub's regional and global networks. This is your opportunity to help grow this community, enhance areas of focus, curate speakers and cultivate the future of this group. Perks include access to Impact Hub Houston's networks and spaces, and working with people who care and actively transform ideas into impact!

Impact Hub Houston brings you Open Project Night, a monthly opportunity to come together to work on solutions for some of Houston's most pressing issues. Our city is full of changemakers across all ages, cultures, skillsets, and industries. This is your chance to connect and collaborate for the greater good.
Here's how it works:
- New theme each month in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- For the month of March we'll be focusing on SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- Anyone can sign up to participate (whether you have an idea/project or just want to provide feedback, advice, or support)
- 1-2 guest speakers will kick-off project presentations
- Open Mic for anyone else to pitch will follow (2 min max per pitch):
- Everyone moves around the room for open networking & collaboration
Open Mic Format:
- Brief personal introduction + What is your project/idea?
- What stage are you currently at? (idea/testing/implementation etc)
- What are your next series of steps?
- What are you currently looking for in the way of talent/skills from the community?
**No slides. Just verbal with large post-it paper visual. We will provided materials.**
The Global Goals can only be met if we work together. Investments and support is needed to ensure innovative technological development, fair trade, and market access in Houston. To build a better world, we need to be supportive, empathetic, inventive, passionate, and above all, cooperative.
