LA Hacks is an annual student-led hackathon hosted at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)'s Pauley Pavilion.

[1] LA Hacks was co-founded by UCLA students Hadar Dor and Alvin Hsia.

Special guests came to speak at LA Hacks, including Evan Spiegel, founder and CEO of Snapchat, Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, Baiju Bhatt, co-founder of Robinhood, and Adam Singolda, CEO of Taboola.

Their hacks were judged by top tech industry professionals (i.e. Sam Altman – President of Y Combinator, Chris De Wolfe – CEO of SGN and Founder of Myspace).

The committee presented two challenges in which students were asked to create apps that would promote fitness and enhance the fan experience at live sporting events.
