What Should Hackathons Be Like?
A Marathon? (NO!) A Walkathon?

A Jumprope-a-thon?

The Alchemy of the Hackathon
● Beginner's mind
● New people
● New information
● Short time to accomplish big leap

Hackathons are good for...
Civic & humanitarian projects
Hackathons are NOT good for... ● Your next million
● Slave labor
Remember? Don't be a jerk.
That means don't exploit people

Healthier Hackathons
Diversity! Skills, Experience, Types of People

Healthier Hackathons Collaboration > Competition ● Encourage participants to walk around at least once ● Stand Up reports encourage cooperation
○ Tell us what you are doing ○ Tell us what you need

Healthier Hackathons
● Safe Space ● Healthier food ● It’s OK to go home
When possible… kid friendly space helps, too.

Why We Don’t Give BIG Prizes
BIG PRIZES GET IN THE WAY OF COOPERATION

All About Prizes ● Thank you gifts for volunteer effort ● Differentiate the ways people excel ● Recognize special efforts
My basic recipe $5-$10 for most. A few ~$25 None too large.

Encourage New Challenges Teams that did good work in one hackathon can create challenges for the next hackathon. Move projects forward, one feature at a time.
Build teams, one event at a time.

Interns!
We recruit novice developers to volunteer their time to work on projects in our program. We support the interns with mentorship, and expect you to guide them as well. They get valuable experience, code on GitHub, and a warm fuzzy feeling.
Also, sometimes, stipends when available.

Money and Sustainability Different projects need different models. For Profit? Not for Profit? How do you fundraise?
We help teams make decisions, then hold their hand to get started.
