How to Hackathon

 

Pick a suitable challenge and meet the owner for a short chat. Each group organizes itself and chooses its own communication channel. The associated pages provide an overview and archive the milestones and to-dos.

 

Step by step

We want to create opportunities to start innovative projects and develop unusual ideas.

start
The hackathon starts with frontal instructions in the form of an impulse lecture of approx. 10 minutes. The Challenge Owners play a central role. These support the participants in implementing their ideas and developing their skills.

brainstorming
Participants only become active after the brainstorming phase. Afterwards there is a discussion for about 20 minutes in order to draw up a plan for the hackathon.

implementation
The Challenge Owners only accompany the process here, but this is designed by the participants themselves. The project is handed over to the participants step by step.

iteration
On the morning of the second day, interim results are presented and work continues on the respective challenge.

presentation
Documentation and presentation, in the form of a PDF with a maximum of 7 pages, should begin no later than 2 hours before the end.
The PDF should contain the following content: problem description, target group, solution, concept including milestones and schedule, team presentation, vision and next steps. You are also welcome to include a prototype, graphics, mockups or the like.
