Have you ever found yourself with a cup of coffee and an idea that you thought could change the world? Or having spent unknown hours thinking of ways you could solve a problem through the use of technology? If so, then it is possible that you would enjoy attending a hackathon. A hackathon is an all night (sometimes all weekend) event which brings the best minds together for one sole purpose; creating something great while attempting to solve real world problems. Whether you are a beginner who has never attended one before or an expert looking for a good challenge, hackathons have a history of bringing out the technical geniuses in us all.
