What is a Hackathon?

Hackathon is a fun and engaging way of creating something beautiful and unique rapidly.  Hacking/coding is a great way to bringing your ideas into existence.  Hackathons just provide the right format to expedite that creation.

A human mind only remembers short term events vividly.  If you get an idea today, don't expect to remember and be excited equally about it in a month from now.   Also we all have little motivation to create something that takes too long.   Hence, we invented Marathons: a foot race to cover the largest amount of miles within the shortest amount of time.  Hackathon = Hacking + Marathon.  In other words, Hackathon is a creation marathon.

Teams

Teams can be anywhere from 1 to 4 maximum members.  Teams must submit their ideas and work on the solution together.   And do joint presentations.  If you have not yet found your team mates, our first Ideathon event will be a great opportunity to connect and join hands with like-minded creators.
