Abstract
Hackathons have become an essential part of technical education, encouraging students to apply their knowledge, enhance problem-solving skills, and work collaboratively in teams. However, many students face challenges while participating in hackathons, such as difficulty in finding suitable team members, lack of awareness about peers’ skills, limited interaction across different classes or departments, and hesitation among introverted students to communicate openly. These challenges often lead to poor team formation or discourage students from participating in hackathons altogether. To overcome these issues, this project proposes a Hackathon Collaboration Website designed specifically for college students. The platform functions as a professional networking system similar to LinkedIn but focuses exclusively on hackathon-related collaboration. The website allows users to register, create detailed profiles, list their technical and nontechnical skills, share posts related to hackathon ideas, like and comment on posts, and communicate with other students through a chat feature. This helps students identify peers with similar interests and complementary skills, enabling effective team formation. The system is developed using HTML and CSS for the frontend interface, PHP for server-side processing, and MySQL (phpMyAdmin) for database management. The platform ensures secure data handling, easy accessibility, and a userfriendly interface. By providing a structured and centralized environment for interaction, the proposed system enhances collaboration, increases student participation in hackathons, and promotes inclusive teamwork within the college.
