ADDRESS REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES WITH NASA DATA
Whether you’re a student, professional, technologist, engineer or artist, the NASA International Space Apps Challenge offers opportunities for anyone with an interest in space and science through our hackathon and global community. All ages, skill levels, and professional backgrounds are welcome. At NASA Space Apps, there's always space for one more!
Real World Challenges
The NASA Space Apps Challenge provides the opportunity to engage directly with NASA’s data, along with Space Agency Partner data. During the hackathon, teams use this data to address challenges written by NASA Subject Matter Experts, featuring topics including storytelling, software development, astrophysics, space exploration, agriculture, and more.
“It is astounding to see what is possible when people come together to address the challenges we face in our endeavor to learn more about life on Earth,” said NASA Earth Science Division Director, Dr. Karen St. Germain.
Meet like-minded individuals

“A team, initially uncertain about their abilities, pulled together through late night brainstorming and intense coding sessions to develop an innovative project for a real world challenge. The pride and excitement they showed during their presentation underscored the power of collaboration and resilience in tackling complex problems.” - Obour, Egypt
