Unlike most hackathons that focus exclusively on coding, United Hacks V5 places equal emphasis on soft skills, such as communication, pitching, and collaboration. This dual-focus model addresses a critical gap in youth STEM education: the ability to present ideas persuasively and work effectively in teams.

“We realized many brilliant students built amazing projects but struggled to express their value,” said Tejas Chakrapani, Founder of Hack United. “Our events not only help students build innovative solutions, they also help them build confidence, public speaking skills, and career readiness.”

Hack United was founded in May 2023 by Chakrapani, then a high school student, with a simple goal: to make hands-on coding more accessible to young learners around the world. What began as a small initiative has since evolved into a global organization that has reached over 25,000 students across 50+ countries.

Run primarily by a team of student volunteers, Hack United embodies the very spirit it seeks to inspire. The leadership team behind United Hacks V5 includes Pranav A (Head of Operations), Kavin A (Head of Events), Rehan R (Head of Marketing), Sahana P (Head of Outreach), and Fiona F (Head of Product).

Together, they’ve designed an event that removes barriers to entry, whether financial, educational, or geographic, and provides every participant with access to top-tier resources, mentorship, and networking.

Participants in United Hacks V5 will walk away not only with projects for their portfolios, but also with skills and connections that can jumpstart their professional journeys. Past attendees have gone on to earn paid internships, join venture-backed startups, and gain admissions to top universities.

“United Hacks helped me build a project that I could put on my resume, and gave me the confidence to pitch my ideas to real-world companies, all while still in high school,” said Ryan Bates, a former participant.

The event welcomes both seasoned programmers and complete beginners. Individuals can register solo and be matched with teammates from around the world, fostering a collaborative, supportive environment.

With its emphasis on innovation, inclusivity, and personal growth, United Hacks V5 is more than a competition; it’s a launchpad for the next generation of builders, thinkers, and leaders.
