Sadržaj kursa

This mini MOOC summarises in 5 lessons what to look for when planning a hackathon and which factors need to be taken into account. The Hackathon eAccessibility Challenge sponsored by the Forum Neue Medien Austria (FNMA) serves as an example. It was planned in a cooperation between FH Technikum Wien and TU Graz and carried out in May 2022.
The course is divided into the following five lessons:

1. Basics: What is a hackathon?
2. Before the hackathon: topic and target group
3. Before the hackathon: general conditions and marketing
4. During the Hackathon: implementation
5. After the Hackathon: follow-up

Ciljevi kursa

After completing the course, participants know what a hackathon is and have reflected on the objectives for which a hackathon is suitable.

Participants know how to take the target group and framework conditions into account when planning. They can formulate the topic and challenges according to the target group and implement a marketing strategy according to the target group and content.

The participants will also know which factors need to be considered when conducting and following up on a hackathon.

Based on the suggestions in this mini MOOC, they will be able to organise, conduct and follow up their own hackathon as part of a course, in their own department in a company, or across courses or universities/companies.

Predznanje

The course is aimed at anyone who would like to (co-)organise a hackathon. No specific previous knowledge is necessary, just an interest in organising and running events.
