2,535 PointsI have never been to a hackathon, so take my answer with a grain of salt.
Most hackathons are about software development, mobile development or Internet Of Things related. There is usually a time limit, (24 hours or 48 hours), where participants have to make a product from start to finish. You can go there with friends or find people there to be in your team. I believe most of them are locally.
