Resumo(s)
In the fast-paced environment of innovation, hackathons serve as critical platforms for
brainstorming and developing new technologies and solutions and bring together talented
participants to foster innovation. This thesis explores the dynamics of hackathon participation,
focusing on how various characteristics of hackathons and motivational factors of participants
influence engagement. An agent-based model is developed to simulate a series of hackathons
in a digital platform, allowing for the manipulation of hackathons characteristics and participant
motivation to observe their effects on engagement. Findings suggest that structured tasks,
opportunities for social affiliation, and significant incentives such as career advancement
strongly influence participation rates. The study provides valuable insights for hackathon
organizers and digital platforms on how to optimize hackathons to increase participant
engagement and foster a robust ecosystem for innovation.
