“…É possível notar os benefícios positivos relacionados à interação e conexão entre os participantes do evento, que forma uma rede interdisciplinar e contribui ao processo de inovação colaborativa entre participantes, que muitas vezes são de diferentes países (Fattah et al, 2021). Há também questões sobre motivação relacionadas aos participantes, com destaque positivo à experiência adquirida (Serek et al, 2020).…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze hackathon contributions as an instrument for innovation in collaborative networks. Methodology: A bibliometry was performed in the Scopus and Web of Science bases through the Bibliometrix packages and the R Studio software. Publications analysis techniques were used describing the year and the group of origin (by Bradford Law), authorship analysis by the authors' relevance and their productivity (by Lotka Law), scientific contributions by country and collaboration between countries, Quotations of document with the cloud of word, as well as a thematic description of the hackathons universe. Results: An exponential increase in scientific hackathon publications from 2019 has been verified. Hackathon studies address and connect the theme mainly with innovation, collaboration, open data, education and covid-19. The increase of hackathon studies occurred during the pandemic period. Limitations: The study was delimited in two databases (Scopus and Web of Science), and in the English language. The expansion to other bases and languages can produce different results from the above, and represents a limitation of this study. Originality: The analyzes performed in this study made it possible to structuring the scientific literature on hackathon.

“…They emerged in the late 1990s, based on technology-oriented companies (related to companies' structures and practices), aiming to develop ideas and solve problems using creative approaches (Mehta & Shah, 2022). These challenges can be related to new products, services, processes, or markets and, therefore, can be used by companies of all segments, sizes, and objectives (Komssi et al, 2014;Pe-Than et al, 2020;Serek et al, 2020).…”

“…Programmers and other actors collaborate horizontally over a short period to conceptualize, develop and present an application prototype or asset that solves a given problem or achieves a stipulated objective (Dwivedi, 2022;Mahmudova, 2022;Seravalli & Simeone, 2016;Briscoe & Mulligan, 2014;Komssi et al, 2014;Rosell, Kumar & Shepherd, 2014). Most of the studies on hackathons present the format and structure of the events and the benefits for the organizer and participants (Pe-Than et al, 2020;Serek et al, 2020;Covic & Manojlovic, 2019). Leveraging hackathons to accelerate open innovation through collaboration has occurred more recently, focusing on collaboration between companies, partners, and other individuals, such as educators (Mehta & Shah, 2022) and students (Naumović et al, 2022).…”

Objetivo: O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar os elementos capacitadores utilizados em hackathons de desenvolvimento de software e como eles contribuíram para o sucesso dos eventos.Método: Mediante abordagem qualitativa e exploratória, o método empregado foi o estudo de casos múltiplos, tendo como unidades de análise dois eventos no formato hackathon, organizados por empresa multinacional de tecnologia no Brasil e Canadá. A coleta de dados foi desenvolvida por entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise documental. A análise dos dados foi conduzida com a técnica da análise de conteúdo.Resultados: Os resultados mostram que a participação de pessoas com perfis e conhecimentos diferentes é importante para os resultados de um hackathon. O suporte fornecido aos participantes e a escolha do desafio proposto são aspectos que afetam a percepção dos participantes sobre o evento, assim como exercem influência nas soluções desenvolvidas.Limitações da pesquisa: Por se tratar de um estudo de casos múltiplos e de caráter qualitativo, não é viável estabelecer generalizações com base nos resultados do estudo, sendo apenas viável apresentar evidências e propostas com base nos casos concretos estudados.Implicações práticas: Proposição de melhores práticas a serem seguidas para a organização de hackathons, em específico no contexto das maratonas para desenvolvimento de soluções.Originalidade: Poucos estudos são direcionados para a aplicação de hackathons, e mais raros são aqueles desenvolvidos considerando diferentes países para análise dos elementos capacitadores baseados em estruturas distintas e suas contribuições na inovação. Investiga-se o desenvolvimento de hackathons como alternativa para inovação na área de software.

“…The emergence of open-source software and the growth of the IT sector helped the idea become more well-known in the 2000s. With several hackathons held annually throughout the world, they have become increasingly popular as a platform for fostering invention and teamwork, which has been employed in a variety of settings, including business, politics, and education [5][6]. Hackathons are important for a variety of reasons.…”

Education-related hackathons provide a dynamic and participatory method of teaching where students take an active role and become inventors and problem solvers. It encourages teamwork, critical thinking, and the use of technology, preparing students for the demands of the workforce of the twenty-first century. Although it has played a significant role in changing enterprises and society at large, its impact on academia has not yet been adequately examined. Studying the factors influencing student satisfaction with the use of hackathons for teaching and learning is crucial and pertinent given that South African educational institutions are still in the early phases of employing hackathons. The study sought to determine the factors that contributed to students’ satisfaction with hackathons for IT project. To achieve the goal, a model incorporating the self-efficacy and satisfaction constructs with TAM variables (perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and behavioral intention (BI)) was developed. To test the model, an online questionnaire-based survey was carried out on 180 IT students who had taken part in a hackathon. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to assess the validity of the results, while Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess reliability. The hypothesis in the suggested model was verified by using correlation to assess relationships between the constructs, while linear regressions were utilized to assess influences between variables. The Pearson correlation result showed that self-efficacy and behavioral intention have a moderately positive and statistically significant relationship with student satisfaction when using hackathon for IT projects, and the regression analysis revealed that students’ use of hackathons for IT projects is positively influenced by perceived usefulness and self-efficacy. The study identified factors that were positively correlated with and impacted students’ satisfaction with the use of hackathon for IT projects, which forms the primary contribution of this research work. By enabling a form of social learning where knowledge is created among students, the use of hackathon for IT projects will help change the learning environment from a teacher-centered to a learner-centered one.
