Blue & Gold Challenge has ended, but you can still support the Samueli Makerspace by clicking here.
We Did It! Thank you!
Dear UCLA Samueli Community,
Thanks to YOU, we had our most successful Blue & Gold Challenge ever! We rallied 89 donors and raised $10,130 (over 2x the original goal of $5,000) to support the UCLA Samueli Makerspace, which provides vital resources that support all Bruin engineers — like us.
Your generosity makes it possible for us to succeed as students and pursue our dreams as future professional engineers.
Thank you all again so much, and Go Bruins!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Hi everyone! We’re thrilled to share that just three days into the Blue and Gold Challenge, we’ve already surpassed our $5,000 goal for the UCLA Samueli Makerspace! Thank you to everyone who has given so far!
Your generosity and support mean so much to us, and will help us continue to invest in new, state-of-the-art tools and machinery, as well as replenish essential supplies. Your contribution ensures we can continue to practice hands-on engineering —turning ideas into reality and keeping our Engineering 1 (E1) courses running strong all year long.
Even though we've surpassed our goal — there's still 4 days left in the Challenge, so let's keep the momentum going and see how much more we can raise for the Makerspace! If you're interested, please help us continue to spread the word by sharing our campaign with your friends, family, and fellow Bruin Engineers! https://crowdfunding.ucla.edu/samuelimakerspace
Once again, thank you all so much, and Go Bruins!
