Each October, over the course of two days, coders, entrepreneurs, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, artists, and technologists from around the world come together in a global hackathon. Participants in the NASA International Space Apps Challenge create in-person and virtual teams to solve challenges using open-source data from NASA and its Space Agency Partners.
The Space Apps Challenge, founded in 2012, has become the largest annual global hackathon in the world. While the top projects are recognized as Global Winners, Space Apps is all about collaboration! Our mission is focused on the following objectives:
This year’s theme is Transform to Open Science, sponsored by NASA’s TOPS initiative. [insert information here once we have details finalized]
Each year we provide these detailed guides to help you navigate the hackathon:
The Space Apps Challenge will start on October 7 at 9:00 a.m. (local time) and end on October 8 at 11:59 p.m. (local time), when project submissions are due.
However, many Space Apps activities start before October 7. Once you sign up for a Space Apps account, start checking your Dashboard messages from the Space Apps Global Organizing (GO) Team for important information regarding your hackathon journey.
Please also look on your Local Event page and communicate with your Local Lead to learn about other events and deadlines that are specific to your location.
