<H2 CLASS="font_2">PURPOSE</H2>
<P>BrightSource is a student-run community service project with the objective of connecting business-oriented high schoolers with local small businesses. <STRONG>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. For this conference, competitors will compete to create the best online marketing campaign for Westea.</STRONG><BR></P>
<P>With this project, we hope to provide local 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 in real-world problem solving. If you are passionate about business and wish to gain more experience with it, join us at our case competition! <BR></P>
