BioHack
Join us for our annual biomedical hackathon at UCLA on April 23-24, 2022!
This event is for anyone and everyone interested in the biomedical field, regardless of their major or background. If you like being creative, designing innovative things, and working with other people with similar interests, this is the event for you! Teams of 3-5 people will work together to address one out of the three possible design prompts; you’ll be given 24 hours to generate solutions to these design problems. It will be hybrid, giving total flexibility to the team members to come up with creative solutions both online and in-person! Along with designing and “building” innovative ideas, participants can also attend a variety of workshops taking place throughout the weekend, ranging from technical skill building (Arduino, Git, data analysis, etc.) to interacting with corporate sponsors and special guests! At the end of the hackathon, teams will present their projects to a panel of esteemed judges to win prizes! Bioengineer or not, we hope to see you at this BioHack!
What does hybrid mean?
We continue to remain cautious of COVID, and so we understand that some of our participants might want to take precautions as well. All of the prompts for the Hackathon as well as the presentation can optionally be done online. If you do choose to participate in-person, you will have access to equipment to build your device (and food!). Please note that your evaluation during the judging portion will not require you to have a physical solution if you choose to participate online.
Bottom line:
Register here by April 21st
