Um hackathon can be understood as an event where teams (of programmers, students, entrepreneurs, etc.) come together to focus intensely and exclusively on improving or creating a solution for one or more challenges, with the potential to be implemented as a product or service. One hackathon promotes team spirit, innovation and serves as a “fast track” for the development of disruptive solutions.
