Many students want to participate in hackathons but struggle to find teammates with the right skills. Most students either participate alone or miss opportunities because they cannot build a balanced team with developers, designers, and problem solvers.
This project aims to develop a Hackathon Team Finder Web Application that helps students connect with others, form teams, and collaborate effectively for hackathons.
Students often face the following issues when preparing for hackathons:
- Difficulty finding teammates with required skills
- Lack of a centralized platform to form hackathon teams
- Poor communication between interested participants
- No organized way to list project ideas or team requirements
Because of these challenges, many students cannot participate effectively in hackathons.
Develop a web platform where students can create hackathon teams, list required skills, and allow others to join teams.
The platform will act as a team matchmaking system for hackathon participants.
Users can create accounts and log in to the platform.
Features:
- Signup
- Login
- Logout
Each user can create a profile that includes:
- Name
- Skills (React, Backend, UI/UX, AI, etc.)
- Experience level
- Portfolio or GitHub link
Users can create a team for a hackathon by adding:
- Project idea

The platform will help students easily find teammates with complementary skills, form teams quickly, and participate more effectively in hackathons.
