Every spring, UCLA\u2019s Pauley Pavilion transforms from a basketball arena into a hub of innovation with LA Hacks. This year, the hackathon hosted more than 1,000 students who created hundreds of projects in just 36 hours. As a sponsor, Logitech showed up to ensure hackers had the latest and greatest tools to fuel their coding journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Surprise, Delight, and Scavenger Hunt<\/b><\/p>\n

We kicked off the weekend by launching stuffed mice into the crowd during the opening ceremony, rewarding lucky hackers with the ultimate productivity duo: <\/span>MX Master 4<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>MX Keys S<\/span><\/a>. To keep the momentum going, we took to Discord, dropping cryptic photos that led students on a scavenger hunt in Pauley Pavilion for a chance to win a pro-grade setup.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Race for Typing Champion<\/b><\/p>\n

At the Logitech booth, typing became a sport. Students stepped up to our typing challenge, choosing between the tactile MX Mechanical or fluid MX Keys S to secure their spot on the MX WPM Typing Challenge Leader Board. The competition was fierce, but the top contender clocked an incredible 197 WPM on the MX Mechanical.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve Got Options with Logitech<\/b><\/p>\n

We closed the weekend with the most-attended workshop at LA Hacks. More than\u00a0 240 attendees, representing over 20% of the entire hackathon, received a deep dive on how the MX Master 4 and Actions Ring can help them save up to 33% of their time.<\/span><\/p>\n

In true hackathon spirit, LA Hacks organizers coded a giveaway tool on the spot for a raffle to workshop attendees. By the time the session concluded, more than 150 students were newly equipped with an MX Master 4 or MX Keys S.<\/span><\/p>\n
