ABOUT DESIGNATHON AT UCLA

Designathon at UCLA is an annual beginner-friendly design competition hosted by Bruin Entrepreneurs with the goal of fostering design thinking at UCLA. Student designers and creatives from diverse background and skill levels come together to innovate and create. Students have an incredible opportunity to network with peers and professionals, attend dynamic workshops, seek guidance from expert designers and learn about buzzing opportunities in the design industry.

ABOUT HORIZONS

Horizons is the 2025 theme for Designathon at UCLA promoting inclusivity and diversity of design. The purpose is clear: to redefine design thinking beyond the ordinary. Design thinking helps us address problems, using innovation to contribute to our quickly developing society. By placing importance on empathy, equity, inclusivity, and diversity, we shape design to be whatever we need and dream it to be.

SEE YOU IN LOS ANGELES!

Horizons will take place from 9 AM – 4 PM PST on Sunday, May 25, 2024 at UCLA. Shortly, we will be posting applications to participate in Vista. If you are interested in applying as a team, we ask all participants to submit an application to the website, when they are available. After applications close and e-mail invitations are sent out, participants will be able to submit their team details to us. If applying as a solo/duo, participants will have the option to choose to join another open team. After teams are chosen, individualized agendas and schedules will be posted to our intranet, MyVista, for participants to view ahead of Designathon.

PEOPLE LOVE DESIGNATHON AT UCLA

I feel like it went really smoothly, it was planned very nicely. I enjoyed the mentors, raffles, and the workshops.

I think the mentorship and guidance at the Summit was a big highlight! I really enjoyed how open and kind the people at the Summit were. It was pretty well organized and I enjoyed my time there.

I liked being able to meet with a mentor during Office Hours to get feedback on our idea. I also liked the overall event, allowing me to become familiar with Figma in a day when I have never used it before. I thought the raffles throughout the event were also fun to keep people energized and motivate us to continue working.

Inspiring work, communications were top notch, diversity of participants. Prompts were spot on and provided the opportunity for a variety of potential solutions.

The organization leading up to the event was great. The intranet felt professional, people were responsive on Slack, and information was readily available. I think the team did a really great job making sure the presentations went smoothly and on time, despite the time crunch. Everyone got to present, which is great! Team was professional and friendly.
