01how it works
Run an event end to end.
The platform's own three stages, from an empty wizard to a judged leaderboard.
01
Create your event
A guided 6-step wizard. Set tracks, prizes, sponsors and a full schedule.
02
Publish & invite
The event goes live on Discover, where participants search, filter, bookmark and register.
03
Collect & judge
Submissions arrive with code, demos and video. Judges score against custom rubrics.

The live platform.
Screens captured from hackathonforall.com in its own dark theme.
01
Land on the platform
The home page leads with the sidebar that carries through the whole product, so navigation is learned once rather than per page.

02
Find an event
Discover is the search and filter surface — the step between arriving and committing to a specific hackathon.

03
Build with the tools
Builder Tools collects the five utilities participants reach for once they are in an event, rather than scattering them across the app.
