Wszystkiego, co wiem o hackathonach, nauczyłem się myśląc o węglu

W najbliższy weekend w Warszawie odbędzie się dwudniowy hackathon: sprint programistyczny, w czasie którego zespoły informatyków produkują prototypy nowych usług i aplikacji mobilnych. W Polsce organizowano już hackathony – ale tym razem robi to Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji. Działania administracji publicznej zazwyczaj nie kojarzą się z metodologiami agile, szybkim prototypowaniem czy design thinking. Pierwszy rządowy hackathon wpisuje się w trend innowacyjny związany choćby ze wsparciem administracji dla startupów. Ale stawką tak naprawdę nie jest wspieranie nowego sektora biznesowego.

Beth Noveck at Media Planet: “There is more than enough food produced to feed everyone alive today. Yet access to nutritious food is a challenge everywhere and depends on getting every citizen involved, not just large organizations.
