The annual 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. Congratulations to participants of the NASA Space Apps Challenge for being a part of this era of space exploration and Earth science innovation,” said NASA Earth Science Division Director Dr. Karen St. Germain.

2025 hackathon group

When you participate in NASA Space Apps, you join a global community that shares a desire to learn and an interest in exploring our planet and universe through science and technology.

Throughout the entire year, the NASA Space Apps Collective provides opportunities to engage with NASA subject matter experts and the l public. Through year-round communications and workshops, participants are empowered to use NASA’s data to advance NASA mission priorities and make a difference both locally and globally.

“A team, initially uncertain about their abilities, pulled together through late-night brainstorming and intense coding sessions to develop an innovative solution 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
