Several key competenes for lifelong learning are supported and hackathons make it possible to combine learning experiences from higher education, school, work and free time. <strong>The perfect lifelong learning event!<\/strong> A nice example is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openhack2020australia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Openhack Hack4Future 2020 Australia<\/a>, which supported global collaboration and lifelong learning to solve the following topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>innovative solutions for coronavirus spread tracking, <\/li><li>bushfire risk management and<\/li><li>smart cities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more about the lifelong learning dimension of the hackathon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openhack2020australia.com\/post\/global-collaboration-and-lifelong-learning-through-hackathons\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes a Hackathon Successful?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer this question, I was reaching out to friends and colleagues. I was looking for people who might already have experience in &#8220;traditional&#8221; hackathons as well es those, who might have participated in virtual hackathons. First I try so find out, <strong>what people motivates to participate at a hackaton in general.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intrisic Motivation: Relevant Theme and Problems to be Solved<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, you need a relevant topic or problem to be solved. It needs to be something, that is <strong>interesting for a certain community of practitioners or researchers<\/strong>. To team up with other people you might not know, to give your free time for the hackathon &#8211; these are things that you wouldn&#8217;t do if the problem doesn&#8217;t mean something to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extrinsic Motivation: New Contacts, New Job, Great Prize<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to the instrinsiv motivation factor like choosing a hackathon theme, also some extrinsic motivational factors are influencing the success of your hackathon. A hackathon is a <strong>great chance to network<\/strong>, to be <strong>noticed by possible employers<\/strong> or to <strong>earn a great prize <\/strong>in case your team wins the hackathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Going Virtual with Hackathons<\/h3>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif aligncenter\">\n\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:66%\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/l378zf8b3gdqqVjIQ\" title=\"online\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif-caption gallery-caption\">Let&#8217;s get online!<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<p>Knowing about the motivational factors, I felt more confident to suggest digital communication and collaboration tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Useful Hackathon-Guide<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hackathon.guide\/ \">https:\/\/hackathon.guide\/ <\/a><\/strong>you can find a <strong>comprehensive guide<\/strong> on how to organize a hackathon, but it is referring to &#8220;traditional&#8221; face-to-face hackathons. Still useful, as many of the aspects mentioned are also important for virtual hackathons. But now to some specifics of the virtual space:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community Feeling in Virtual Space<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.donau-uni.ac.at\/de\/universitaet\/organisation\/mitarbeiterinnen\/person\/4295259382#cta_id=PR_1b8cb62e-de17-49b5-8109-9401f6a2a99b&amp;clickcnt=1\">Natalie Denk<\/a>, head of the Center for Applied Game Studies, participated in several hackathons in the past: As &#8220;hacker&#8221; as well as juror.

It can promote <strong>commitment and motivation.<\/strong><\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.donau-uni.ac.at\/de\/universitaet\/organisation\/mitarbeiterinnen\/person\/4295259382#cta_id=PR_1b8cb62e-de17-49b5-8109-9401f6a2a99b&amp;clickcnt=1\">Natalie Denk<\/a>, head of the Center for Applied Game Studies at Danube University Krems<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online White Glove Experience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I also talked to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benjaminaaron?lang=de\">Benjamin Degenhart<\/a>, who currently works for GovData.de as freelance software engineer. He participated in technology-themed hackathons and especially also at a virtual hackathon. He mentioned, that <strong>high profile support by experts<\/strong> in the field is a very valuable resource for participants during the hackathon, a so called <strong>&#8220;white glove experience&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to make sure that hackathon participants can get in touch with experts of the field through audio-channels or chatting. There could be dedicated times for exchange and pitching of work-in-progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moderation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One this is for sure: It needs some kind of <strong>communication platform<\/strong>. Slack could be used, zoom, discord or similar applications. It needs a good <strong>moderator<\/strong>, who can support participants if there are questions and to nourish progress through discussions. Fast feedback to questions is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tech Tools to Support the Hackathon<\/h3>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif aligncenter\">\n\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:56%\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/fYN1E0egcYTv8qVe0x\" title=\"webcall\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif-caption gallery-caption\">Tech tools for hackathon.
