Hackathon Management System (HMS)

Run a hackathon wth ease :)

History

We developed this tool during our annually happening Hackweek at Scout24. It is meant to help us preparing, organzing and running our Hackweeks. Since we are not the only ones running those Hackathons we thought we make it public for anyone to use...

Features

• Flexible configuration per Hackathon, such as...
  • Title

  • Registration per Hackathon
• Match maker (Participants <-> Projects)
  • based on Skills

• Pitch/Showtime generator
