Welcome to UCLA's first Hack2Impact!

Hosted by ACM Impact at UCLA and LA Blueprint, the goal of this hackathon is to partner groups of students with nonprofits in order to aid them in building any technical solutions that the organization requires. Students will have the opportunity to work directly with nonprofit leaders and work to come up with a product that fits their needs best.

Through this event, we hope to promote tech for social good and inspire hackers to pursue paths toward ethical technology.
