To participate in an international hackathon, you need to have a good knowledge of a foreign language. Knowing English will allow you to correctly understand the subject area. You also need to be familiar with the professional slang and terms used by the competition participants. If you have such knowledge, then you can make a name for yourself in the international community. Participation in such competitions will give you the opportunity to find a job if you talk about it on your GitHub or LinkedIn accounts.

Hackathons are classified into 2 types:

Those events that do not publish information about what problems and tasks need to be solved within the hackathon.
Those events whose purpose is to solve important problems and tasks that could not be uk rcs data solved previously.
If you are applying for the first type of hackathon, there is no point in preparing for it. It is better to use this time to learn new skills, relying on intuition. They may come in handy, but you can’t be sure.

In the second case, the probability that participants will acquire new skills in the public arena is critically low. Obviously, if it were possible to acquire them within the competition, the problem would be solved much earlier.
