CampusArena — College Events & Hackathon Platform

Unstop-style platform: discover events, form skill-matched teams, get certified.

Backend & real-time systems · GDG team projectJune 2026Full Stack

A full-stack events and hackathon platform built with the GDG campus team. Event discovery with custom registration forms, skill-based team matching with join-request approval, real-time team chat and notifications over WebSockets, hackathon submissions with leaderboards, and QR-verifiable certificates.

// problem

Campus events run on scattered Google Forms and WhatsApp groups — no discovery, no team formation, no verifiable certificates.

// impact

Organizers get CRUD for multi-round timelines, prizes, and registration forms; participants get skill-matched team formation, real-time chat (Django Channels + Redis), submission leaderboards, and QR-verifiable certificates. Dockerized with production settings and a SQLite fallback for local dev.
