Do Hackatons work for something? Recently I went to my first Hackaton. For those of you who does not now what a Hackaton is, it can be resumed as a couple of days with a lot of cofee and pizza and people from different fields working together to achieve a goal. My question after this two days was if the hours without sleep and all the cofee and pizza did actually make any effects in the live of the people around me or it was just an experience for me and the rest of the people in the Hackaton. The first objective of a Hackaton is to make students apply all the theory in the real world, but there is a second objective what is change the world to a better place. The problem came when is a corporation who organized it. Then the goal to achieve it is a goal that the company want to solved, and if they could make a profit. I think the best of these meetings is the people you meet, and you can colaborate in a future. Also I think that two days are not enough. Some projects needs more time, in the two days it can iniziated, but for achieve something they need more time and the help of the organization.
