The Objective.


A Techathon is a design sprint-like event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, and others, often including subject-matter-experts, collaborate intensively on software projects. The goal of a Techathon is to create usable software. Techathons tend to have a specific focus, which can include the programming language used, the operating system, an application, an API, mobile application or the subject and the demographic group of the programmers. This type of events helps companies in various folds such as to create community of developers, reinvigorate a company's innovation culture and capabilities, corporate branding, IP development etc.
