Hacky teaching — •Yoav G. Pollack1,2, Anas Hussin1, Jaskaran Singh1, and Komal Bhattacharyya11University of Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany. — 2Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS), Göttingen, Germany.

I examine hackathons, imported from the world of software startups, as a motivating teaching method. In December 2023, a 2-day hackathon was held for the CYTAC Research Training Group in the University of Göttingen, on the topic of simulating cytoskeleton with the Cytosim software package[by Nédélec Group]. The aims of this venture were 1) to promote initiation of collaborations by students from different research groups spanning several disciplines, 2) to encourage experiment-oriented students to do computational work, 3) to encourage theory-oriented students to consider the biological context of their theoretical research, 4) to make learning fun. I will report on the outcomes of this hackathon that managed to attract students from diverse computational backgrounds and scientific backgrounds and showcase selected proof-of-concept projects from the teams.
