Hackathon

A hackathon is an event where people from different backgrounds, skills and interests, such as coders, analysts, designers, business strategists, etc., come together to innovate, brainstorm and solve various predefined challenges within a specified time frame. The aim of a hackathon is often to create a working solution or prototype of a product or service.

A hackathon is an online, offline, or hybrid event that brings together participants from multiple disciplines to find an innovative solution. Organizations conduct hackathon to hire, engage with employees, test or create a new product or establish a brand.
