PURPOSE

BrightSource is a student-run community service project with the objective of connecting business-oriented high schoolers with local small businesses. We aim to do this by hosting hackathon-styled business competitions where high schoolers compete to devise the best solutions for real problems that local enterprises have. 

With this project, we hope to provide businesses with an opportunity to connect with the community and receive community-crowdsourced consulting; we also hope to provide students with an opportunity to network in person with business leaders and gain experience with real-world problem solving. If you are passionate about business and wish to gain more experience with it, join us at our case competition! 

HOW IT WORKS

Like a hackathon, students will be presented with a business problem at the start of the competition and will spend about 8 hours forming teams of three, brainstorming solutions, writing a 2-3 page report, and pitching their idea in a short presentation to the partnered business owners. The winning teams will receive monetary prizes ranging up to $150 as well as opportunities to implement their ideas and get internships and/or paid jobs.

COST

Lunch and snacks, along with all other event expenses will be covered by the ticket price of $12
