A hackathon, also known as a codefest, is a social coding event that brings computer programmers and other interested people together to improve upon or build a new software program.It is an event where people engage in rapid and collaborative engineering over a relatively short period of time such as 24 or 48 hours.

Nowadays, companies are organizing virtual hackathons to find and hire talented people. These online events are like stages where candidates show how good they are at solving tough problems using their coding skills. It’s a new way that companies are using to pick the right people for their teams.
