So what exactly is a hackathon?
The term hackathon is a blend of the words “hacker” and “marathon”. This unique activity consists of developing an innovative project over a period of two consecutive days at most. Participants are invited to come alone or in a mixed group and use their talents to create a prototype product or service that will then be presented to a panel of judges.
What are the expected outcomes?
One of the biggest outcomes of a hackathon is to provide a platform for creativity while breaking new ground and getting away from the daily routine. Multidisciplinary teams will have the opportunity to network and participate in constructive confrontations. The most interesting ideas will become initiatives driven by the innovation committee. They could be marketed to our clients as a product, as a service proposal or simply as an improvement to our current solutions.
In the coming weeks, we will post pictures taken during the event and we will certainly be able to reveal a few highlights.
