Calling all creative high school innovators,

OpenHacks Collective is proud to announce our inaugural OpenHacks Collective Business Hackathon, taking place on December 6th, 2025, at the UCLA campus. We are thrilled to open applications for this exciting event!

At the OpenHacks Collective Business Hackathon, students will receive a real-world business challenge with minimal information and will have just a few hours to develop a bold, creative solution. Teams will pitch their ideas to a panel of industry professionals and entrepreneurs.

Participants will have the opportunity to win over $1,000 in prizes, receive one-on-one mentorship, secure an internship, and connect with a community of driven peers and professionals passionate about entrepreneurship and social impact.
