A hackathon is an event, typically lasting several days, where people come together to collaborate to solve a problem or identify new opportunities.
The Anatomy of a Hackathon

Hackathons can be focused on a particular theme, technology, or programming language and can be open to anyone interested in participating, often including developers, designers, product managers, entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and project managers, collaborating towards a common goal. 

Many hackathons are competitive events where teams compete to create the best solution to a problem or set of problems in a fast-paced environment. Typically, mentorship is available for teams as they experiment and iterate toward a viable solution. 

Each team then presents its solution to a panel of judges for prizes, recognition, and a chance to implement the solution by the sponsoring company. 

This can be a fun and exciting way to motivate participants and encourage them to push their limits.

Purpose - Why should we use til tool?

The goal of a hackathon is often to build a working prototype, or proof-of-concept, of a product or feature in a short amount of time and to have fun, improve skill sets, and network while doing it.

Duration - How much time is needed?

Most hackathons last 48 hours, sometimes less. It is not recommended to exceed a duration of 48 hours. Otherwise consider conducting a design sprint.
