Devils Invent
Devils Invent is a series of engineering and design challenges. Participating students are encouraged to design, build, and implement innovative solutions to challenging problem statements submitted by community, industry and University partners.
Devils Invent events are perfect for students who are committed to making a difference and developing an entrepreneurial mindset. The challenges are open to all ASU students of all majors.
The teams will be formed during the event. Each team will have four to six members.

Honeywell Aerospace Devils Invent: Future-Ready Avionics
Devils Invent is a weekend-long design challenge where students come together to tackle real-world problems with creativity, teamwork, and innovation. The future of aviation depends on systems that are safer, more reliable, and easier to improve over time. New ideas in this space can help reduce risk, lower long-term costs, and make advanced aircraft technologies more practical and accessible. Join Devils Invent for a hands-on hackathon focused on the future of avionics, where participants will choose from challenge areas that touch AI-assisted engineering, audit-ready assurance workflows, collision avoidance, and scalable aviation-grade systems.
Whether you’re interested in software, hardware, systems thinking, or rapid prototyping, this hackathon is an opportunity to build practical ideas for some of aerospace’s most important emerging needs. If that hasn’t convinced you: the weekend will also include free food, industry mentorship, and over $17,000 in prizes.
Team Structure: Teams typically consist of 4–6 students. You can come with a pre-formed team, but each team member must register individually. If you’re coming without teammates, don’t worry, there will be time to form teams at the start of the event!
Prizes: Winning teams will receive $17,000+ in prizes.
