Abstrak
Hackathon telah berkembang menjadi wadah dinamis yang mendorong lahirnya inovasi teknologi, kolaborasi lintas disiplin, serta pembelajaran praktis bagi generasi muda. Penelitian ini menganalisis tingkat kepuasan peserta terhadap pelaksanaan JIHS Hackathon 2025 yang diselenggarakan oleh Politeknik Jakarta Internasional bekerja sama dengan Comsnet dengan tema “Innovating for a Sustainable Future.” Pendekatan metode campuran digunakan melalui survei skala Likert terhadap 36 responden dan analisis naratif dari ulasan peserta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepuasan peserta berada pada kategori tinggi (rata-rata skor 4,20/5), khususnya pada aspek kesiapan panitia, kolaborasi tim, bimbingan mentor, serta relevansi tema. Namun, transparansi sistem penilaian tercatat sebagai aspek terlemah, sehingga menimbulkan kritik terkait kejelasan dan objektivitas evaluasi. Temuan kualitatif juga menekankan pentingnya penyelenggaraan workshop pra-event bagi peserta pemula serta program tindak lanjut pasca-event agar proyek inovatif dapat berlanjut secara berkesinambungan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa JIHS Hackathon tidak hanya berhasil menghadirkan pengalaman positif dan bermakna, tetapi juga perlu memperkuat transparansi evaluasi serta menyediakan dukungan lanjutan untuk meningkatkan kontribusinya terhadap ekosistem inovasi digital.
Kata Kunci: kepuasan peserta, hackathon, ekosistem inovasi, kolaborasi digital, teknologi berkelanjutan.
Abstract
Hackathons have emerged as a dynamic platform for fostering technological innovation, collaboration, and practical learning. This study examines participant satisfaction with the JIHS Hackathon 2025, organized by Politeknik Jakarta Internasional in collaboration with Comsnet, under the theme “Innovating for a Sustainable Future.” Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected from 36 respondents through Likert-scale surveys and narrative reviews. The findings reveal that overall participant satisfaction is high (average score 4.20/5), particularly in aspects of committee readiness, teamwork, mentor guidance, and thematic relevance. However, transparency in the scoring system remains
the weakest dimension, raising concerns about fairness and clarity in evaluation. Qualitative insights further highlight the need for preparatory workshops for novice participants and post-event incubation programs to ensure continuity of innovative projects. This study concludes that while the hackathon successfully delivers a positive and meaningful learning experience, enhancing evaluation transparency and providing structured follow-up programs are crucial to strengthening its impact on the innovation ecosystem.
