A hackathon is an event where people engage in rapid and collaborative engineering over a relatively short period of time, such as 24 or 48 hours in person or several days online. They are often run using agile software development practices, such as sprint-like design wherein computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers, product managers, domain experts, and others collaborate intensively on engineering projects, such as software engineering.
