Ark Hackathon. Toronto

What is a Hackathon?

The word Hackathon comes from the word Marathon (a long or difficult activity in a short period) and Hack, here meant as exploratory programming. During a Hackathon, you spend a short period of time, usually between 24-48h (can go up to a week), building, creating and delivering a product. The idea is to collaboratively code in an extreme manner, to start from scratch and end with a working prototype. It’s often a sort of competition, where teams of programmers, developers, designers and project managers come together to design & build a nice product, a software project.
