A hackathon is an extended event (usually 48-ish hours) in which multi-talented contestants collaborate, either alone or in teams, to solve a challenge. The challenge is usually focused on a business, technological or humanistic problem. Supplied with advanced software and technology the teams must competitively try to develop a solution within the allotted timeframe. Teams are coached and mentored by professionals in the field of tech and startup consultation. The hackathon culminates in a pitching round and the winning ’hack’ will be awarded!
