Build a scoring app embedded on Teams with a Power BI dashboard for case competition

Many organizations use Hackathons for branding and sourcing purposes, aiming to recruit the best candidates and discover new ideas to solve business problems. However, how to make the process easy to build and scale can be troublesome, especially for the scoring. For example, how to collect judgments and feedback in a modernized way? how to minimize the administration effort? Nowadays, the life cycle of solutions and apps are getting shorter, sometimes it’s not cost-effective to build an app from scratch.

I end-up using Power Platform, the low code solution from Microsoft, to build a scoring app and integrate with Teams. The solution not only modernized the process but also smooth the customer experience. With the solution, the judges no longer need to bring pens and papers walking around and calculate the score by themselves, and the organizer can have peace of mind without any hassle.
