respondents expected exactly what they got, while others were expecting less, a more
boring event, what did not happen.
The event exceeded the expectations of four respondents (20%), was below the
expectations of other four (20%), and attended the expectations of 12 (60%). Twelve
respondents (60%) would attend a future Sustainability Hackathon, one respondent
(5%) said “no”, and the others did not know if they would attend. The mean score of
the hackathon was 7.37 with strong and weak aspects as per Table 5. It is interesting to
note that while some respondents did not like the hackathon organization, for others
it was a strong aspect. Mean scores of items evaluated in the questionnaire were:
quality of food, 8.24; infrastructure, 8.47; technical resources, 7.75; organization
team, 7.56; mentoring, 7.85. The scores of the five talks varied from 5.97 to 8.72.
The reported weak aspects related to the missions/challenges dynamics (considered as a burden hampering the project development) were not expected since the
intention of the game was to help participants keep track of each project step and
reach the goal at the end of the hackathon. The missions asked for the participants
to record each project step, so they could use the videos in the final presentation,
