During a Hackathon, participants work in teams to develop an application based on open data.

Designers, programmers, web-developers and everyone who is interested can participate. At the Hackathon  the fun factor of the participating Teams and the professional work with Open Data are paramount. 

“Developers: We need computer cowboys and cowgirls like yourself to wrangle data into something useful. That means visualization, notification, integration, etc., all in the name of doing something crazy and fantastic.
Designers: We need people like you to make the rest of our work look amazing, feel intuitive, and have a smooth user experience. You know the drill.“ Zitat opendataday.org
