Service Overview

"Meet talented individuals you haven't yet discovered through a hackathon?"

CraftStadium is one of Japan's largest hackathon platforms.

It allows companies, local governments, and universities to easily host hackathons, providing end-to-end support from participant recruitment to event operation and team management. Hackathons are opportunities to directly observe the 'capabilities' of engineers and designers through actual product development. You can assess problem-solving skills, teamwork, and technical abilities, which are difficult to gauge from resumes or portfolios alone, in just a few days.

It has been adopted by local governments and educational institutions such as Kyoto City, Doshisha University, and SPAJAM, with over 400 engineers and creators participating to date. While planning and operating hackathons directly linked to recruitment is possible, the platform can also be used independently.
