What is a hackathon?

A hackathon is an event where people come together to solve problems. Most hackathons also have a parallel track for workshops. Usually, participants form groups of around 2-5 people, take out their laptops, and dive into solving issues. Training workshops are a perfect parallel track for beginners in particular, but also for all participants.
