The purpose of startup weekend is to enable attendees to get educated, network, and launch a product- all within a super tight time frame. 54 hours of people, pizza, and pop provide a unique and energizing experience and plenty of opportunitiesan environment not seen in many other seminar events.
It appears that most startup weekend events are focused primarily on launching web, mobile, or service products- they do not focus on engineered or material products.
A notable exception to this include the Toronto startup weekend, which hosts a 'maker edition,' giving attendees access to the full suite of resources one would typically encounter at a hackerworks/makerworks.
