The NASA International Space Apps Challenge (Space Apps) is an international hackathon for coders, scientists, artists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, and others in cities around the world, where teams engage the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) free and open data to address real-world problems on Earth and in space. Space Apps 2021 will take place on October 2-3, 2021.

The common thread among Space Apps participants is that you are interested in space science and exploration, that you are creative, and that you want to solve problems. Start by looking at the FAQ: www.spaceappschallenge.org/resources/faq/ ... See MoreSee Less
