A hackathon is an event, typically lasting several days, where individuals or teams

collaborate intensively on projects, often related to software development, coding, or

innovation. Participants work on creating functional software or hardware prototypes,
solving problems, or developing new ideas within a specific timeframe. Hackathons
encourage creativity, teamwork, and innovation, and they can be organized by
companies, educational institutions, or community groups. These events often
culminate in presentations or demonstrations of the projects created, with prizes
sometimes awarded to the most successful or innovative solutions. Hackathons provide
a platform for learning, networking, and pushing the boundaries of technology and
creativity.
