Muscat— The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth has launched the "Barmajan" Digital Transformation Hackathon, with the participation of 105 individuals representing 28 teams of developers, programmers, UX/UI designers, and business analysts. The event aims to deliver innovative and implementable digital solutions for the ministry's sectors.
Through this hackathon, which will run for eight full weeks at the National Museum, the ministry seeks to convey several key messages—most notably, that youth are capable of developing digital solutions for institutions while empowering them to harness their creativity in the field of digital transformation.
The hackathon also aims to strengthen community engagement by involving them in creating solutions that support government institutions and drive digital transformation.
Participants will face numerous technical challenges and training sessions designed to guide them in achieving results and developing suitable solutions that will serve both government and private institutions.
