About

UBC BizTech welcomes you to ProduHacks, a process-centric hackathon focused on making the right decisions to develop a product that matters. Discover the importance of product planning, research, and development through a unique competition that sits between a case competition and a hackathon.

Whether you are a designer, developer or product manager, you will be given an opportunity to learn and apply your understanding of your product's processes in a meaningful way.

Testimonial

Meet Elena!

ProduHacks was a great opportunity to gain hands-on product management experience. From brainstorming to pitching and all of the research, user interviews, and late night feedback sessions in between, I felt more motivated than ever to push myself and learn new skills. Within the 24 hours, I not only gained valuable experience hat helped me land my first product internship, but came out with a cool product and new friends!”
- Elena, Year 3 BUCS (ProduHacks 2023)
