What is MARA?
Software for running hackathons, business games and hiring challenges. MARA AI writes the challenge in minutes from a role or a problem; then you manage teams and submissions on MARA, and your people evaluate.
How it worksHow much does it cost?
Drafts are free. Each live challenge costs €200, VAT excluded: up to 100 participants and a consultation with the team. For several challenges at once there is Enterprise, on contract. No subscription and no fee per participant.
PricingWho can take part?
If the challenge is public, the MARA student community, growing with partner universities. If it is closed, only a university's students, with their university email, or whoever receives the private link. Participants never pay.
For studentsWho decides who wins?
The organizer's people, on criteria set before publishing. MARA gives no scores and ranks no one.
Judging criteriaWhat do participants receive?
Everyone who submits gets a verifiable certificate to add to LinkedIn, and finds the brief, their role in the team and the work submitted in their MARA portfolio.
CertificatesWho is behind MARA?
Four former master's students of H-FARM College. MARA was born at H-FARM and was used for H-ACK: 157 participants, 30 teams, 6 judges.
