Ethical Hackathons
Introduction to Ethical Hackathons
An Ethical Hackathon is a one-day workshop, pioneered at Oxford University’s Human-Centred Computing Department, that builds upon the familiar hackathon concept used in computer science. An Ethical Hackathon combines scientists with specialists from other fields who form teams that then tackle a problem that requires them to consider social and ethical issues of design alongside technical ones. Depending on the task, teams might produce a design document, mockup, or prototype. Entries are judged by external moderators in terms of ‘responsibility’, alongside traditional hackathon parameters such as efficiency and safety. The primary objectives of Ethical Hackathons are to foster mutual understanding among different groups, encourage future collaboration, and drive the creation of improved, socially responsible work.

Customise Your Training
Training organisers have the flexibility to customise their training in several ways. For those with time constraints, splitting the workshop over two days allows for a more digestible and focused learning experience. Alternatively, individuals seeking a balanced approach can opt for a blended format, combining the convenience of online modules with the benefits of in-person sessions.
