Hackathons are 24- or 48-hour coding events that bring together students to create collaborative projects, which usually fit a certain theme. Companies will often run a few Hackathons per year to encourage educational opportunities, collaboration, and innovation. Some Hackathons are also independently planned by organizations, and they can be both virtual and in-person.
