Hack2Impact is UCLA's first-ever social good hackathon.

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.

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

• Technical Complexity
  The project is technically impressive in terms of what has been accomplished in the 36-hour hacking period. It uses unique, efficient, and complex technical approaches.
• Creativity / Innovation
  The project is highly original or imaginative. It tackles a problem in a unique way or creates a novel experience/product that stands out from typical hackathon projects, and it could inspire future innovations.
• Functionality
  The project has over 75% of its intended functionality and is well-designed.
• Longevity
  The project is highly feasible and scalable for long-term deployment by the NPO. It meets current needs and also anticipates future challenges and requirements.
• Idea / Adherence to Track
  The project idea has the potential to be extended in a variety of ways and make an impact. The idea is unique, potentially even unheard of before. The project is completely on topic and relevant to the chosen NPO track.
• Demo
  The demo stays below the 5-minute time limit (30 second buffer) and clearly articulates what the project is, how it was built, and how it relates to the NPO track, going above and beyond in consideration of all stakeholders.
