About 1,000 hackers, including high school, undergraduate and graduate students, attended this year’s LA Hacks held in Pauley Pavilion. This year, data hacks, which deal with a large amount of data, were judged separately from non-data hacks, which can involve coding and building hardware. Participants were also asked to bring reusable water bottles and electronic waste in an effort to promote environmental sustainability.
