Why are Hackathons so much fun?

Hackathons come in all sizes, shapes, and forms.

There are few things more stimulating than a hackathon…. as caffeinated fueled developers work feverishly together on sleep-deprived teams, mostly for fun if not for some notoriety in the hacker community. But we thought that expanding on this format to allow for diverse teams of developers and non-developers alike to compete would be a fantastic idea!

Collaborizm always wants to inspire our users, and what better way to do that than by incorporating hackathons in our upcoming Version 2.0? With a new and improved chat feature, combined with a new collaborator ranking system, we believe Version 2.0 offers a new and exciting take on the hackathon.

Hackathons are fantastic ways to collaborate with other developers & creatives to exchange ideas, while uniting together for a common cause.

Virtual hackathons in Version 2.0 will enable global involvement, rather than being limited to a city or town. In this unique set up, where people with diverse skills from all over the world will team up we will provide for a dramatic increase in the creative collaborative potential of hackathons versus a typical physical hackathon. Moreover, all of these benefits will be available directly to you, rather than you having to travel to participate. Think of it, you can attend a Collaborizm Hackathon in your pajamas!

Sign up for our Hackathon list here, to get exclusive access to Collaborizm V2 Hackathon dates and prizes.

Have a collaborative day!
