Hackathons originated in the late 1990s from the tech community as time-limited events to promote collaborative innovation.
During a hackathon, participants form smaller teams work together intensively, often for 24–48 hours. They create innovative projects or solutions within a specific theme or challenge. #herHACK 20.23 is a unique form of a hackathon with a special focus on women and sustainability. Participants brainstorm ideas, design prototypes, write code, and present their final products to judges and a larger audience. The atmosphere is dynamic, with a strong sense of excitement, teamwork, a focus on learning and networking. Pushing creative boundaries is key for successful hackathons and for #herHACK no prior knowledge is needed!
