Welcome to Supercharge! This year’s hackathon brings an electrifying mix of innovation and energy. The main theme, “Supercharge,” features three tracks:
1. Super Human: Become Your Best Self - Design solutions that enhance your well-being.
2. Super Nostalgic: Become Your Old Self - Create projects that revive timeless classics.
3. Super (in)Sane: Become Your True Self - Encourage out-of-the-box ideas.
IDEAHacks is UCLA’s premier hardware hackathon, hosted annually by IEEE at UCLA. As the largest hardware hackathon on the West Coast, IDEAHacks brings together over 200 students from various schools for an amazing weekend of innovation and collaboration. Our goal is to empower and encourage students of all backgrounds and experiences by providing them with a space and opportunity to design something exciting and memorable!
At IDEAHacks, students form teams, brainstorm creative solutions to real-world problems, and bring their ideas to life using the latest technology. Participants gain not only technical skills but also invaluable exposure to industry trends and networking opportunities with professionals from leading companies. However, to continue offering this transformative experience, we need your help.
Organizing a large-scale event like IDEAHacks requires significant resources, from providing hardware components to securing a suitable venue and offering meals for participants who work nonstop for 36 hours. Although UCLA and our club, IEEE at UCLA, do their best to support us, university funding alone does not cover all our costs.
Your support is crucial to maintain the quality and accessibility of IDEAHacks. Without sufficient resources, many aspiring young engineers may miss out on the chance to participate due to lack of materials, space, or necessary mentorship.
To make IDEAHacks a success, we aim to raise $5000 through donations. This funding will allow us to deliver a top-tier hackathon experience by providing state-of-the-art hardware, securing an appropriate venue, supplying meals, and offering prizes for outstanding projects.
Thank you for your support!
