Ideation and Team Forming

Hackathon Ideation and Team Formation Board

A hackathon is an event where teams collaborate to develop innovative solutions within a limited timeframe. They encourage rapid prototyping, creative thinking, and cross-functional teamwork to accelerate innovation.

One very important aspect of running a Hackathon is ideation and team formation, which is usually completed ahead of the event so that teams can seamlessly "walk in and start hacking."

This board is designed to help teams form around an idea.
