The Power of Hackathons: How to Leverage Short-Term Development
Cycles to Your Advantage |
Amanda Sopkin, Coach for Major League Hacking and Software Engineer
|
“Hackathons” are events centered around projects designed to be completed quickly. They often take place in the course of only a weekend. Planning a hackathon can be a great way to accelerate innovation and foster a sense of community across teams. In addition to holding our own hackathons, we can learn valuable ways to move faster in our normal development cycles from these events. This presentation will inform attendees about the growing hackathon culture in technology and show them practical ways to leverage this culture at their workplaces.
About Amanda: Amanda attended her first hackathon as a freshman in college and fell in love with the innovative fast-paced dynamic. She was able to gain confidence, build lasting friendships, and learn skills she would not have developed in a classroom setting because of her experiences at hackathons. She became a coach for Major League Hacking to attend events and help organizers create good experiences for their attendees. She is excited about the potential of this concept and the growth of community continues to experience every year. |
