Arabic-first, bilingual by default
Every participant, mentor, and judge surface ships in Arabic and English with true right-to-left layout — mirrored down to the last arrow, not a translated skin.
For government programs
A national hackathon platform for government programs
Run innovation programs at national scale without losing fairness or bilingual polish. Hackathon by Slingshot is Arabic-first and bilingual by default, with transparent judging and reporting built for public-sector accountability.
National programs can't run on improvised tools
A ministry or national program hackathon carries expectations a Google Form can't meet — thousands of participants across regions, an Arabic-first experience that isn't an afterthought, and judging transparent enough to stand up to public scrutiny.
- Thousands of applicants across multiple cities and tracks
- Arabic-first is a requirement, not a toggle
- Results have to be demonstrably fair and reportable to stakeholders
Built for scale, fairness, and Arabic-first
The platform was designed bilingual from the ground up, for events that are watched.
Scale across regions and tracks
Run one national program with multiple tracks and thousands of participants, each event with its own page, form, and judging setup.
QR check-in across venues
Scan participants in at every host city and watch attendance climb in real time, with per-venue logs for the record.
Transparent, normalized judging
Weighted rubrics, score normalization, and conflict-of-interest flags produce results you can defend publicly — with both raw and normalized scores visible.
Certificates and stakeholder reporting
Issue verifiable certificates at national scale and hand stakeholders a funnel report — applied, accepted, shipped, awarded — in numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Is the experience truly Arabic-first?
Yes. Arabic and English are first-class with genuine right-to-left layout across every screen — navigation, forms, dates, announcements, and certificates — so an Arabic-speaking participant never feels like a translation afterthought.
Can it handle national-scale participation?
Yes. The platform runs multi-track programs with thousands of participants, and QR check-in plus live dashboards keep even a multi-city event under one command center.
Where is participant data hosted?
On Slingshot infrastructure, in an isolated workspace per program, backed up daily and exportable as CSV at any time.
Can judging withstand public scrutiny?
Judging uses weighted rubrics with normalization and conflict flags, and organizers see both raw and normalized results — so outcomes are consistent, explainable, and defensible.
