Join us for the 2026 Fall Quarter Demo Day for Young Tech Professionals (YTP) – a project-based tech bootcamp focused on social impact, hosted by Innovate@UCLA. 

Now in its fourth academic year as a course, ENG170 was originally developed through the Innovate@UCLA program and is led by Jim Davis, Vice Provost Emeritus and Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, and Davida Johnson, Executive Director of the UCLA Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC).  

This year’s course theme is LA28, and six student teams have been developing innovative solutions addressing real-world community challenges. Working in teams, students selected projects in SmartCities, Civic Tech/Community Engagement, or Sports Tech. Over the course of 10 weeks, students received mentorship from industry professionals and collaborated with subject matter experts to develop impactful, real-world solutions.

Each team will pitch their solution and present a live demo of their MVP in front of a panel of industry judges. This is a great opportunity for you to network with UCLA faculty, mentors, and tech leaders. 

This is an invite-only event. For more information, please contact info@innovateucla.org
