Some of the most immediate benefits include encouraging internal networking, constructing creative environments, and developing hard and soft skills on your teams. But there's a lot more. <h4>Healthy competition</h4>To begin, organizing a private hackathon is a fantastic opportunity to embrace an innovative environment while also forming multidisciplinary groups and encouraging healthy competition within the company.Competitions, when done correctly, can be excellent sources of motivation. To encourage participation, you can provide employees with non-monetary rewards or dedicated time just for attending your hackathon. <h4>New ideas and solutions for real problems</h4>Hackathons, both external and internal, provide fertile ground for the rapid development of innovative and disruptive solutions. It means that when a company truly understands its pain points, these collaborative events help to solve complex problems and also serve to co-create projects across different areas.Several businesses encourage hackathons to implement paradigm shifts that have a direct impact on business.Here are a few features you have probably used already that stemmed from internal hackathons:<ul><li><a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2015/10/cursed-project-short-history-facebook-button" target="_blank">Facebook Like button:</a> This feature became a fundamental part of the social media platform, revolutionizing user interaction and engagement.</li><li><a href="https://news.microsoft.com/features/microsoft-hackathon-2015-winner-extends-onenote-to-improve-learning-outcomes-for-students/" target="_blank">Microsoft OneNote</a>, a digital note-taking application, was developed from an idea generated during an internal hackathon.

This feature curates a personalized playlist for users based on their listening habits, significantly enhancing user experience.</li></ul> <h4>Bring together remote or hybrid teams</h4>Internal hackathons allow people who have never met in person to exchange experiences in a closer setting.As a result, the benefits of internal hackathons include increased coworker camaraderie, social connection, and a more human experience. <blockquote> Learn why internal hackathons are <a href="https://taikai.network/blog/internal-hackathons-for-remote-companies" target="_blank">important to remote companies</a></blockquote><h4> </h4><h4>Allow employees to speak up</h4>When you organize an internal hackathon, you allow employees to bring ideas out of the closet. Teams will recognize that they have genuine opportunities to make a difference for the company, providing them with a genuine sense of belonging and inclusivity. <img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/_UV4jwJKAHX-2Rz3eqDhN_LKa1KKDnZ9PRgWZrWteFg/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy8wN2MyMzc2MC0xOWFkLTExZWYtOTkxNS01Yjk0MzM1MDk0ZjBTY3JlZW5zaG90IDIwMjQtMDUtMDggYXQgMTYuMzcuNDEucG5n" class="fr-fic fr-dib" />  One compelling example of the impact of internal hackathons comes from Taboola, a digital advertising company based in New York City. Taboola operates a content recommendation platform that enables companies to advertise, distributing their content through a network of publishers, including major media outlets like MSN, Business Insider, and Bloomberg.Taboola’s goal was clear: to bring diverse groups of employees together to create and present innovative ideas to grow and improve the company. They aimed to leverage one of their biggest strengths—the breadth and diversity of their employees' experience.The results of Taboola’s internal hackathon were nothing short of amazing. A total of 799 participants from different areas of the company gathered to innovate, ultimately delivering 147 projects by the end of the Innovation Sprint hackathon.If you want to learn more about Taboola’s internal hackathon and understand how your company could benefit from one, we encourage you to read the <a href="https://taikai.network/blog/company-hackathon-taboola-case-study" target="_blank">comprehensive case study</a>.<h3> </h3><h3>Great, but how do I organize an internal hackathon?</h3>The first step is to decide whether your hackathon will be online, hybrid, or offline.Pandemics have shown that hackathons do not have to be in person. In other words, for teams spread across multiple cities or countries, online internal hackathons are a great tool to help you host a hackathon. <h4>Aligning Goals and Expectations</h4>To begin with, as with any internal event, you must involve as many departments as possible when planning an internal hackathon. After all, ideas come from everywhere, and hackathons are multidisciplinary events.In order to set up specific organizational pains and needs, invite managers and leaders from key areas that can help you structure and organize the event, such as: <ul><li>Innovation and Business to set up specific organizational pains and needs. By doing this, it will be easier to determine the theme(s) for the company hackathon; </li><li>Human Resources (HR) deals directly with all organizations. As a result, HR professionals are familiarized with each area's routines and can help with the engagement strategy;</li><li>Communications and marketing are critical areas to consider when deciding how to <a href="https://taikai.network/blog/how-to-promote-a-hackathon" target="_blank">disclose</a> and <a href="https://taikai.network/br/blog/strategies-to-engage-a-community-hackathon" target="_blank">engage participants</a>. </li><li>Technology and logistics departments (such as IT and P&amp;D) will assist you in allocating digital efforts and determining the best platform for your company to use when promoting the internal hackathon. </li></ul>At the kick-off meeting, you must describe the objectives, team sizes, and deliverables. It is time to spell out exactly what is expected of hackathon participants. Teams may be required to provide Proof of Concepts, Prototypes, Pilots, or MVPs, for instance. <h4>Dividing tasks to organize internal hackathons</h4>Because you already have other areas to support you, it's critical to create a calendar to follow by determining each person's responsibilities for organizing your internal hackathon. This includes: ✅ The hackathon main theme and topics, of course, but also the rules and who can participate;✅ The budget available for the event; ✅ Rewards that will be given to the winners;✅ Who will be the judges and mentors of the hackathon. Tip: Invite people from outside the organization to fill this role as well.✅ Creating internal communications and endomarketing strategies to attract as many employees as possible; <h4>Choosing the right hackathon platform</h4>Many organizations resort to Google Sheets, Notion, forms, and other panoply of tools to organize a hackathon. The truth is that using all these tools is exhausting, requires time and energy from the organizers, and ends up being mostly manual work.<a href="https://taikai.network/en/organizations" target="_blank">TAIKAI</a> offers an all-in-one hackathon management system suited for online or hybrid hackathons that handles all the operations providing a seamless and low-effort experience to hackathon organizers. ☑️ Hackathon registration☑️ Team formation☑️ Participation management☑️ Communication between organizers, participants, and mentors☑️ Livestream capabilities☑️ Voting system TAIKAI even takes it a step further by providing companies with tailored consultancy services designed to help organizations plan and execute the perfect hackathon.

They can take weeks or even months, depending on the challenge. The goal is to give participants more time to develop better, more comprehensive solutions.Since the participants will be devoting time and effort, nothing is more equitable than creating a powerful content and learning trail. That is why defining the content trail is one of the most important aspects of organizing an internal hackathon.In other words, you must devote time to researching and planning activities that will be deliverables at each stage of the event. It entails, for example, planning the workshops and seminars that will be held as part of the event. Here is an example of hackathon stages:<img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/tl0PAG4ntVOw6hNyzenWQ_YNPqQewMbe-linVzA8sR4/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy84NjM2YzFmMC02NWNkLTExZWQtYmM4Yy0xZGQ0MGIwNmMxOWNoYWNrYXRob24tcGhhc2VzLWV4YW1wbGUuanBn" style="width:817px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" /> <a href="https://medium.com/skillenza/mishmash-online-hackathon-a-look-back-cf7d43478660" target="_blank">Image Source: MishMash</a> In a nutshell: <ol><li>The registration phase occurs when the company <a href="https://taikai.network/en/blog/how-to-promote-a-hackathon" target="_blank">promotes the hackathon</a> and participants form teams and submit ideas.</li><li>During the ideation phase, your company should provide exclusive content, educational trails, mentorship, workshops, and seminars that focus not only on the event theme, but also on relevant activities such as MVP development, design thinking, creativity, and idea generation. Meanwhile, the participants are working on and refining their projects..</li><li>Participants must complete and submit their projects for judging based on the knowledge gained in the previous phase</li><li>The projects chosen by the judges will be invited to present a pitch during the final phase of the internal hackathon. This is where the magic occurs and the winners are determined.</li></ol>Remember that in online events, it’s more likely that people feel isolated or uncertain of their contributions and progress, so it’s important to set aside specific hours or days for team catch-ups where they can discuss their progress as a group. For that reason, the platform used for internal hackathons must facilitate team communication and interaction to foster this sense of unity. <h4>Defining rules, mentoring, and judging criteria</h4>Hackathons are typically organized around specific topics, technologies, or processes. So, do your best to ensure that participants stick to the proposed theme. One obvious way to accomplish this is by clarifying the rules. So, even before you start promoting your hackathon, write them down.The rules must be easily accessible to all participants at all times and include information such as judging criteria, time limits, tools that participants must use during the event, and so on. <blockquote>Here is a comprehensive guide on <a href="https://taikai.network/en/blog/how-to-promote-a-hackathon" target="_blank">how to promote a hackathon: 5 steps to attract participants</a>.</blockquote> It is possible to condition hackathon registration on a rule's acceptance checkbox. However, this is insufficient. Take some time during the hackathon launch event to review:<ul><li>A synopsis of the main rules; </li><li>Who are the mentors (explain if generalist mentors are available in addition to specialists) and how and when they will meet with the teams; </li><li>How will the projects be rated by the judges? It is critical to follow a clear methodology in this case. TAIKAI, for example, provides tokens to judges in order for them to evaluate projects.</li></ul> <h4>Forming teams and matchmaking </h4>It's also important to set some rules when it comes to forming teams. Naturally, people will try to form teams with colleagues that are closer to them. Unfortunately, this might not be the best approach as teams might become less diverse.A rule of thumb would be to only allow one teammate per department, for example, a team of four would be composed of one member from marketing, one from design, one from sales, and another from tech. <h4>Remember: communication is key</h4>Good communication is critical for success, especially if you're running a hybrid or online internal hackathon, from the moment you start promoting the event.To make the event public, use internal communications (intranet, email, and other internal channels) to ensure that everyone is aware of the innovation challenge. Involve managers as well to help you engage employees.However, you must proceed when the game is being played. Of course, these internal channels are important for communicating the hackathon's next steps, but it is critical that you use a platform that ensures all necessary information.<img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/kyCSxCSRxgkwrXu99psRjCBq5TD638YR1vY09PW0xFM/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy84MWQ4MDY0MC02NWNlLTExZWQtYmM4Yy0xZGQ0MGIwNmMxOWNoYWNrYXRob24gbGFuZGluZyBwYWdlIGV4YW1wbGUuanBn" style="width:800px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" /> <h3>Final thoughts</h3>To sum it all up, in order to organize your first internal hackathons, you must:<ol><li>Align goals and expectations with all parties involved, and try to make the process easier with the help of a hackathon consultant specialist; </li><li>Decide whether an offline, online, or hybrid model is best for your in-house hackathon;</li><li>Distribute tasks among the members of the internal hackathon organizing team;</li><li>Create a content trail for each internal hackathon stage (registration phase, idea submission, product/project submission, pitch day); </li><li>Before beginning to <a href="https://taikai.network/en/blog/how-to-promote-a-hackathon" target="_blank">promote a hackathon</a>, define the rules, mentors, and judging criteria.</li></ol><h3> </h3><h3>About TAIKAI</h3>TAIKAI is the leading hackathon hosting platform.

Alguns dos benef&iacute;cios mais imediatos incluem incentivar o networking interno, construir ambientes criativos e desenvolver habilidades duras e macias em suas equipes.&nbsp;Mas h&aacute; muito mais. <h4>Competi&ccedil;&atilde;o saud&aacute;vel</h4>Para come&ccedil;ar, organizar um hackathon privado &eacute; uma oportunidade fant&aacute;stica de abra&ccedil;ar um ambiente inovador e ao mesmo tempo formar grupos multidisciplinares e incentivar uma competi&ccedil;&atilde;o saud&aacute;vel dentro da empresa.As competi&ccedil;&otilde;es, quando feitas corretamente, podem ser excelentes fontes de motiva&ccedil;&atilde;o.&nbsp;Para incentivar a participa&ccedil;&atilde;o, voc&ecirc; pode fornecer aos funcion&aacute;rios recompensas n&atilde;o monet&aacute;rias ou tempo dedicado apenas para participar do seu hackathon. <h4>Novas ideias e solu&ccedil;&otilde;es para problemas reais</h4>Hackathons, tanto internos quanto externos, fornecem terreno f&eacute;rtil para o r&aacute;pido desenvolvimento de solu&ccedil;&otilde;es inovadoras e disruptivas.&nbsp;Isso significa que, quando uma empresa realmente compreende suas dores, esses eventos colaborativos ajudam a resolver problemas complexos e tamb&eacute;m servem para co-criar projetos em diferentes &aacute;reas.V&aacute;rias empresas incentivam hackathons para implementar mudan&ccedil;as de paradigma que tenham impacto direto nos neg&oacute;cios. O bot&atilde;o <a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2015/10/cursed-project-short-history-facebook-button" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Curtir do Facebook</a>, por exemplo, surgiu de um hackathon interno. <h4>Re&uacute;na equipes remotas ou h&iacute;bridas</h4>Hackathons internos permitem que pessoas que nunca se conheceram pessoalmente troquem experi&ecirc;ncias em um ambiente mais pr&oacute;ximo.Como resultado, os benef&iacute;cios dos hackathons internos incluem maior camaradagem entre colegas de trabalho, conex&atilde;o social e uma experi&ecirc;ncia mais humana.<blockquote>👉 Veja porque <a href="https://taikai.network/blog/internal-hackathons-for-remote-companies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hackathons internos s&atilde;o importantes para empresas remotas</a></blockquote> <h4>Permita que os funcion&aacute;rios tenham uma voz ativa</h4>Quando voc&ecirc; organiza um hackathon interno, permite que os funcion&aacute;rios tirem ideias do arm&aacute;rio.As equipes reconhecer&atilde;o que t&ecirc;m oportunidades genu&iacute;nas de fazer a diferen&ccedil;a para a empresa, proporcionando-lhes um sentimento genu&iacute;no de pertencimento e inclus&atilde;o. <h3>&Oacute;timo, mas como organizo um hackathon interno?</h3>O primeiro passo &eacute; decidir se o seu hackathon ser&aacute; online, h&iacute;brido ou offline.As pandemias mostraram que os hackathons n&atilde;o precisam ser presenciais. Em outras palavras, para equipes espalhadas por v&aacute;rias cidades ou pa&iacute;ses, os hackathons internos online s&atilde;o uma &oacute;tima ferramenta para ajud&aacute;-lo a hospedar um hackathon. <h4>Alinhando Metas e Expectativas</h4>Para come&ccedil;ar, como em qualquer evento interno, voc&ecirc; deve envolver o maior n&uacute;mero poss&iacute;vel de departamentos ao planejar um hackathon interno. Afinal, as ideias v&ecirc;m de todos os lugares e os hackathons s&atilde;o eventos multidisciplinares.Para configurar dores e necessidades organizacionais espec&iacute;ficas, convide gestores e lideran&ccedil;as de &aacute;reas-chave que possam ajud&aacute;-lo a estruturar e organizar o evento, como:Inova&ccedil;&atilde;o e Neg&oacute;cios para configurar dores e necessidades organizacionais espec&iacute;ficas.&nbsp;Assim, ser&aacute; mais f&aacute;cil definir o(s) tema(s) para o hackathon da empresa;Recursos Humanos (RH) lida diretamente com todas as organiza&ccedil;&otilde;es.

Isso inclui:✅ O tema principal e t&oacute;picos do hackathon, claro, mas tamb&eacute;m as regras e quem pode participar;✅ O or&ccedil;amento dispon&iacute;vel para o evento;✅ Recompensas que ser&atilde;o entregues aos ganhadores;✅ Quem ser&atilde;o os jurados e mentores do hackathon. Dica: Convide pessoas de fora da organiza&ccedil;&atilde;o para preencher essa fun&ccedil;&atilde;o tamb&eacute;m.✅Criar estrat&eacute;gias de comunica&ccedil;&atilde;o interna e endomarketing para atrair o maior n&uacute;mero poss&iacute;vel de colaboradores; <h3>Escolhendo a plataforma de hackathon certa</h3>Muitas organiza&ccedil;&otilde;es recorrem a planilhas, no&ccedil;&otilde;es, formul&aacute;rios e outra pan&oacute;plia de ferramentas do Google para organizar um hackathon.&nbsp;A verdade &eacute; que usar todas essas ferramentas &eacute; cansativo, exige tempo e energia dos organizadores e acaba sendo um trabalho principalmente manual.Muitas organiza&ccedil;&otilde;es recorrem a planilhas, conceitos, formul&aacute;rios e outras ferramentas semelhantes do Google para executar um hackathon.&nbsp;A realidade &eacute; que usar todas essas ferramentas pode ser cansativo, exige que os organizadores gastem muito tempo e energia nisso e geralmente acaba sendo trabalho manual.A <a href="https://taikai.network/organizations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">plataforma de hackathon TAIKAI</a> facilita e simplifica a organiza&ccedil;&atilde;o de um hackathon interno.<img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/WDRuNv3R1ElHlN1RQzwTTnwLch8ZK1-4T-1oElpQ0Cw/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy81MDczMjJjMC1hNjBhLTExZWQtYTk2Mi00N2RmYTliNjRlMDFibG9i" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Nossa plataforma pode ser utilizada para hackathons online ou h&iacute;bridos e facilita a comunica&ccedil;&atilde;o entre organizadores, participantes e mentores.&nbsp;Tamb&eacute;m fornecemos uma p&aacute;gina de hackathon l&oacute;gica e f&aacute;cil de navegar para sua organiza&ccedil;&atilde;o gerenciar e apresentar o conte&uacute;do da competi&ccedil;&atilde;o, regras, pr&ecirc;mios, linha do tempo do hackathon e atualiza&ccedil;&otilde;es. <h4>Estrutura interna do hackathon: trilha de conte&uacute;do</h4>Hoje em dia &eacute; comum que os hackathons durem mais de um dia. Eles podem levar semanas ou at&eacute; meses, dependendo do desafio. O objetivo &eacute; dar aos participantes mais tempo para desenvolver solu&ccedil;&otilde;es melhores e mais abrangentes.Como os participantes estar&atilde;o dedicando tempo e esfor&ccedil;o, nada mais justo do que criar um conte&uacute;do poderoso e uma trilha de aprendizado.&nbsp;&Eacute; por isso que definir a trilha de conte&uacute;do &eacute; um dos aspectos mais importantes da organiza&ccedil;&atilde;o de um hackathon interno.Em outras palavras, voc&ecirc; deve dedicar tempo para pesquisar e planejar as atividades que ser&atilde;o entregues em cada etapa do evento.Isso envolve, por exemplo, planejar as oficinas e semin&aacute;rios que ser&atilde;o realizados como parte do evento. Aqui est&aacute; um exemplo de etapas do hackathon:<img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/QOWuwkaFsi1KjVnrhnx6fZ-HnsFO3ok0K4VVSPMFB-Y/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy85NjQwOGQxMC1hNjBhLTExZWQtYWI4OS1hMWIwZGViNGNhMDdibG9i" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Em poucas palavras:<ol><li>A fase de inscri&ccedil;&atilde;o ocorre quando a empresa promove o hackathon e os participantes formam equipes e apresentam ideias.</li><li>Durante a fase de idea&ccedil;&atilde;o, sua empresa deve fornecer conte&uacute;dos exclusivos, trilhas educativas, mentorias, workshops e semin&aacute;rios que foquem n&atilde;o apenas o tema do evento, mas tamb&eacute;m atividades relevantes como desenvolvimento de MVP, design thinking, criatividade e gera&ccedil;&atilde;o de ideias.

Portanto, fa&ccedil;a o poss&iacute;vel para que os participantes se atenham ao tema proposto.Uma maneira &oacute;bvia de conseguir isso &eacute; esclarecendo as regras. Portanto, antes mesmo de come&ccedil;ar a promover seu hackathon, anote-os.As regras devem ser facilmente acess&iacute;veis a todos os participantes em todos os momentos e incluir informa&ccedil;&otilde;es como crit&eacute;rios de julgamento, limites de tempo, ferramentas que os participantes devem usar durante o evento e assim por diante.<blockquote>👉 Aqui est&aacute; um guia completo sobre como promover um hackathon: <a href="https://taikai.network/en/blog/how-to-promote-a-hackathon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">5 passos para atrair participantes</a></blockquote>&Eacute; poss&iacute;vel condicionar a inscri&ccedil;&atilde;o no hackathon na caixa de sele&ccedil;&atilde;o de aceita&ccedil;&atilde;o de uma regra. No entanto, isso &eacute; insuficiente. Reserve algum tempo durante o evento de lan&ccedil;amento do hackathon para revisar:<ul><li>Uma sinopse das principais regras;</li><li>Quem s&atilde;o os mentores (explicar se existem mentores generalistas al&eacute;m dos especialistas) e como e quando se reunir&atilde;o com as equipas;</li><li>Como os projetos ser&atilde;o avaliados pelos jurados? &Eacute; fundamental seguir uma metodologia clara neste caso.</li></ul>A <a href="https://taikai.network/organizations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TAIKAI</a>, por exemplo, fornece fichas aos ju&iacute;zes para que eles avaliem os projetos. <h4>Forma&ccedil;&atilde;o de equipes e matchmaking</h4>Tamb&eacute;m &eacute; importante definir algumas regras quando se trata de formar equipes. Naturalmente, as pessoas tentar&atilde;o formar equipes com colegas mais pr&oacute;ximos.Infelizmente, essa pode n&atilde;o ser a melhor abordagem, pois as equipes podem se tornar menos diversificadas.Uma regra pr&aacute;tica seria permitir apenas um colega de equipe por departamento, por exemplo, uma equipe de quatro pessoas seria composta por um membro de marketing, um de design, um de vendas e outro de tecnologia. <h4>Lembre-se: a comunica&ccedil;&atilde;o &eacute; fundamental</h4>Uma boa comunica&ccedil;&atilde;o &eacute; fundamental para o sucesso, especialmente se voc&ecirc; estiver realizando um hackathon interno h&iacute;brido ou online, desde o momento em que come&ccedil;a a promover o evento.Para tornar o evento p&uacute;blico, use a comunica&ccedil;&atilde;o interna (intranet, e-mail e outros canais internos) para garantir que todos estejam cientes do desafio da inova&ccedil;&atilde;o. Envolva os gerentes tamb&eacute;m para ajud&aacute;-lo a envolver os funcion&aacute;rios.No entanto, voc&ecirc; deve prosseguir quando o jogo estiver sendo jogado.&nbsp;Claro que esses canais internos s&atilde;o importantes para comunicar os pr&oacute;ximos passos do hackathon, mas &eacute; fundamental que voc&ecirc; utilize uma plataforma que garanta todas as informa&ccedil;&otilde;es necess&aacute;rias.<h3><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/eykN9YFhwLcKRImztJItWW1LOewbqtabBnI9w8eszR0/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy82NmZlZjc3MC1hNjBiLTExZWQtYTk2Mi00N2RmYTliNjRlMDFibG9i" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Resumindo...</h3>Para organizar seus primeiros hackathons internos, voc&ecirc; deve:<ul><li>Alinhar metas e expectativas com todas as partes envolvidas, e tentar facilitar o processo com a ajuda de um consultor especialista em hackathon;</li><li>Decida se um modelo offline, online ou h&iacute;brido &eacute; o melhor para o seu hackathon interno;</li><li>Distribuir tarefas entre os membros da equipe interna de organiza&ccedil;&atilde;o do hackathon;</li><li>Crie uma trilha de conte&uacute;do para cada etapa interna do hackathon (fase de inscri&ccedil;&atilde;o, envio de ideia, envio de produto/projeto, pitch day);</li><li>Antes de come&ccedil;ar a promover um hackathon, defina as regras, mentores e crit&eacute;rios de julgamento.</li></ul> <h4>Organize um grande hackathon com a TAIKAI</h4>A escolha de uma plataforma de hackathon completa ajudar&aacute; em todos os processos, como forma&ccedil;&atilde;o de equipe, comunica&ccedil;&atilde;o entre organizadores, participantes e mentores, um painel que permite aos participantes enviar seus projetos em formatos avan&ccedil;ados, recursos de transmiss&atilde;o ao vivo para transmiss&atilde;o e um sistema de vota&ccedil;&atilde;o simples e audit&aacute;vel.<a href="https://taikai.network/en/organizations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solicite uma Demonstra&ccedil;&atilde;o hoje!</a>
