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!
Requirements
What to Build
Come up with an innovative project that aims to improve or benefit their communities, surroundings, and environments!
What to Submit
Projects must contain at least two hardware components. To document what you built, submit some images/videos of your project as well as a description of what your project does. Feel free to be creative! A more interesting pitch will generate more interest from judges!
Make sure to include a concise description at the top of your project as your "elevator pitch." This should make it so judges can clearly understand what your project does in 20 seconds or less.
Don't forget to submit this form after creating your Devpost!
