YouthHack Philadelphia

YouthHack is a for-purpose organization helps high school and university students learn more about startups, technology and entrepreneurship. We hold ‘startup weekends’, ‘code weekends’ and ‘hackathons’. We also run a fellowship program that connects students with actual startups they can intern in. We hope to be able to create a global community of youth entrepreneurs that are solving the world’s different problems using technology and entrepreneurship.

We started out last 2014 in the Philippines. Since then, YouthHack has expanded to different countries to help empower youth around the world.

The YouthHack “Shark Tank” Challenge is a one day event where high school students learn how to come up with a business idea, create a plan and pitch it to actual investors. For the first half of the day, students will get the opportunity to hear from entrepreneurs and venture capitalists and go through workshops in ideation, business planning, pitching and more. During the second half of the day, they will also work on their own idea and present to a panel of judges.

YouthHack Philly is open to all high school students interested in learning more about entrepreneurship. There aren’t any requirements as long as you’re a high school student. The event is completely free and food and drinks will be provided!
