Summary:
The West Coast’s largest hardware-focused hackathon!

IDEA Hacks is the largest hardware-focused hackathon on the West Coast. Held annually at UCLA by IEEE Student Branch at UCLA, this is a unique opportunity for hundreds of students from UCLA and community colleges to dedicate 36 continuous hours to developing their very own project from start to finish. With all the parts, tools, space, and food provided all for free, students walk away with new skills, a stronger understanding of fundamental engineering concepts, and a marketable, tangible product they can put on their resume.

This event also encourages development beyond technical experience through initiatives focused on environmental sustainability, interdisciplinary learning, appreciation of the arts, supporting mental and physical health, and outreach to community colleges.
