問 9
Incorrectア
Splitting into an affirmative side and a negative side to argue a given theme under set rules is the description of a “debate,” which differs from a hackathon where prototypes are created.
Incorrectイ
Young people who aspire to be active in the information security field learning practical security knowledge in a training-camp format is the description of a learning event such as “Security Camp,” which differs from a hackathon where results are competed on.
- ウ
正解 A hackathon is a coined word combining “hack” and “marathon.” It refers to an event in which multiple teams made up of programmers, designers, and others intensively create prototypes for a given theme in a short period, then present their results and compete with one another. Choice ウ correctly describes exactly these features—multiple teams, short period, prototype creation, presenting results, and competing—so it is correct.
Incorrectエ
Incorporating game elements into non-game-like fields to motivate users to participate is the description of “gamification,” not the definition of a hackathon.
- Grasp the definition that a hackathon = hack + marathon, a coined word for an event where teams intensively develop prototypes in a short period and compete on the results.
- Organize the distinctions from confusingly similar terms (debate / Security Camp / gamification).
