Spending time with the scouts, understanding the problem and turning it into something buildable. Keeping the build honest to what's needed.

the problem
800 kids.
Dozens of events.
Thousands of scores.
One spreadsheet.
Every year, the Muslim Scouts Olympics brings together hundreds of young people to compete across running, jumping, throwing and challenge events.
Behind the scenes, the entire competition runs on paper. Volunteers record results by hand. Sheets make their way back to a scoring team. Scores are manually entered into a complex spreadsheet that calculates points, medals and the final leaderboard.
One missing sheet. One mistyped score. One broken formula. And the whole thing gets a lot more stressful, fast.
Our challenge: build a scoring system that can run the Olympics from the first result to the final medal.
the team
Drafted. Two engineers, now building with MSF.
Our two Forward Deployed Impact Engineers are working alongside MSF's scout organisers to build the scoring system, and will be on the ground when it goes live.
