Hackathon

A hackathon is an event, usually spanning from a day to a week, where programmers, designers, and other tech enthusiasts collaborate intensively to create innovative software or hardware projects. Participants form teams to brainstorm, design, and develop solutions to specific challenges or create new applications from scratch. Hackathons foster creativity, skill development, and networking, often culminating in presentations where teams showcase their work to judges or an audience for feedback, prizes, or further development opportunities.
