Hackathon Hosting platform (Web 2.
0) – Devnovate
Create a hackathon hosting platform, which enables users to register on hackathons and organisers to host
hackathons.
Problem=>
Manual participant registration is time-consuming.
Team formation & project submission lack a structured workflow.
Judges need a better way to review and evaluate projects.
As a student sometimes we don’t even get the information of any such event getting organized even though
we are interested, so its important to assemble every info at a same platform.
No team matching feature, some even struggle to find teammates
In platform chat system
No demo/preview option to see how platform works
Manual score collection
No live QnA sessions
Mentor communication is weak
Winning projects don’t get visibility
No way to stay connected after hackathon
