Hackathons are now considered a valid method for finding new ideas or solving problems. These online events usually gather figures from the IT world: software developers, programmers and graphic designers.
Their effectiveness is measured in the innovative responses that arise from the simultaneous comparison of figures from different professional or training fields.
For the organizers, the hackathon represents an innovative way to improve or create new software, to implement new features, find advanced solutions, test services and products.
