What is Hackathon?
A hackathon is an event where creative, open-minded, entrepreneurial people from different disciplines meet together - in an intensive business development sprint - to work together to find a solution to a specific industry or technology problem or challenge. The goal is to create an MVP - which is a demo version of the product / service, NOT a prototype - during the event, thus supporting the viability of the idea. In many cases, teams continue to work on the MVP, either out of self-interest or after a hackathon, until a final, marketable solution is found. In fact, the hackathon is a challenge-based complex learning framework.
