Hackathons & Diverse Teams

In this episode of the Hello 50:50 World Podcast, we speak with Professor Dr. Debra Hevenstone, Professor of Social Policy at the Bern University of Applied Sciences and co-organizer of Hack4SocialGood. Together, we explore how hackathons can become powerful environments for innovation, inclusion, and collaboration: - Why diverse teams do not form naturally, and whether they create more innovative solutions, based on research - How matching algorithms can help build stronger, more balanced teams, and where are the pitfalls - Why hackathons are about much more than coding and which skills are most in need - How AI could make hackathons broader and more accessible across professions and industries - And why designing inclusive innovation spaces benefits everyone From social innovation and civic technology to team formation research, labour market integration, and the future of AI-enabled collaboration, Debra shares what hackathons can teach us about building technology—and communities—that are more innovative and more humane. If you're interested in diversity, innovation, AI, hackathons, team collaboration, or the future of technology, this episode is for you.
