“…In this case, the goal of the hackathon was predetermined, requiring less discovery for the participants. In general, teams either identify their problems from the industry partners (where applicable), from their personal experience (Raatikainen et al 2013;Suominen et al 2019) or by conducting user research (Karlsen & Løvlie 2017;Damen et al 2019). Teams brainstorm potential ideas and use strategies, such as team voting, to converge on a direction for their project (Thomer et al 2016).…”

“…In the hackathon setting, a large constraint is time; thus, participants aim to identify a problem for which a viable solution can be developed in the short time frame of the event. Techniques highlighted in the reviewed publications for developing an understanding of the problem include interviews and stakeholder mapping (Damen et al 2019), as well as user profiling (Rey 2017). These techniques allow for teams to identify key features and create a common reference of the problem.…”

“…At hackathons, regardless if the topic is given or they have to conduct problem finding on their own, participants aim to develop a shared understanding of the problem with the group (Prieto et al 2019). Completing this phase is needed in order for the team to establish a direction for the remainder of the design process (Damen et al 2019).…”

“…Five publications discuss 'civic hackathons'(Johnson & Robinson 2014;Soligno et al 2015;Gama 2017;Taylor et al 2017;Damen et al 2019), meaning citizens are involved in solving problems related to their communities. Three hackathons are about healthcare(Piza et al 2018;Alamari et al 2019;McGowan 2019), and another three center around the sustainability topics of water quality(Carroll & Beck 2019), biodiversity(Thomer et al 2016) and ecology(Lodato & DiSalvo 2015).…”

Hackathons are short-term events at which participants work in small groups to ideate, develop and present a solution to a problem. Despite their popularity, and significant relevance to design research, they have only recently come into research focus. This study presents a review of the existing literature on the characteristics of designing at hackathons. Hackathon participants are found to follow typical divergence–convergence patterns in their design process throughout the hackathon. Unique features include the initial effort to form teams and the significant emphasis on preparing and delivering a solution demo at the final pitch. Therefore, hackathons present themselves as a unique setting in which design is conducted and learned, and by extension, can be studied. Overall, the review provides a foundation to inform future research on design at hackathons. Methodological limitations of current studies on hackathons are discussed and the feasibility of more systematic studies of design in these types of settings is assessed. Further, we explore how the unique nature of the hackathon format and the diverse profiles of hackathon participants with regards to subject matter knowledge, design expertise and prior hackathon experience may affect design cognition and behaviour at each stage of the design process in distinctive ways.
