A hackathon is an event where experts collaborate to solve a specific problem. While many hackathons focus on computer programming and IT, other industries are now adopting this format as well. The term “hackathon” combines “hack” (referring to exploratory programming) and “marathon” (signifying a prolonged effort). In this context, hackers are simply programmers working to develop innovative solutions.
