How does Unstop ensure fair and objective evaluation during the hackathon? add_black
Our AI screening and identity verification solutions ensure that only verified users participate in your hackathon. Our 360° AI online proctoring features eliminate the possibility of fraudulent activities. We ensure transparency and objectivity in scoring by relying on clear, predefined criteria for automated reporting with deep AI insights. Our online assessment platforms score submitted code based on criteria like fastest output, errors, accuracy, and complexity. We also ensure the final human touch is not lost by providing clear reports and analytics on a unified dashboard for you and your team. Also, here are a few guidelines on how to judge a hackathon for your jury members to ensure consistency and eliminate bias.
What is the difference between an Ideathon and a Hackathon on the platform? add_black
While both are competitive engagements, a Hackathon requires participants to build a working prototype or solution (focused on execution and coding), while an Ideathon Platform focuses solely on generating and refining the best ideas and concepts (focused on strategy and innovation). You can read more about the differences here: Ideathons versus Hackathons.
Does Unstop offer managed hackathon organizing services? add_black
Yes. We offer a full end-to-end managed service. This includes strategic consultation, custom microsite creation, and targeted promotion to attract the right audience from our community.
