In general, Hackathon is a programming-based contest that combines hacking and marathon. It rapidly became popular as a method of software technology development and technological innovation. Since 2014, KIT Hackathon was established by faculty and staff whose research field is IT (Information Technology) · RT (Robot Technology), including Minoru Nakazawa (one of author) of Kanazawa Institute of Technology Department of Information and Computer Science. After that, we regularly hold it once per half year. Through KIT Hackathon as a place for educational research through cooperation between industry and academia, we intend to create products that can be implemented on a daily basis and cultivate innovators who will be responsible for the future.
