What if schoolwork addressed real problems from real people in a student's own community?

That's the dream of The Impact Classroom, a free teacher created tool for community-engaged class projects.

About the teacher who built it

What exists today

Running now in one science teacher's classroom.

A student's screen for one day of a mission called Toxic Molecules & Safer Housing, listing every dated day of the mission down one side and that day's graded assignment beside it

What would make community-engaged learning radically simple for every classroom?

A school administrator's home screen, with a card for each thing they run: school profile, courses and sections, students, teachers, partners, families, issues and impact

Working now

  • Community-engaged PBL your teachers can finally pull off — the platform carries the hard parts, so it doesn't land on them.
  • One clear view of your school — courses, sections, calendar, and community partnerships together in one place.
  • See where a teacher or student could use a hand, with the Side Quests support view — a way back for students, not a discipline log.
  • Student privacy and FERPA handled by design, so you can say yes with confidence. How we handle data →
Cominga day-one readiness view of your school, and real signals of the impact on students.
