Tampa Hackerspace is excited to bring the NASA Space Apps Challenge Hackathon back to Tampa for a second year! This is an international hackathon presented by NASA that occurs over 48 hours in cities around the world. Join us to share ideas and engage with open data to address real-world problems, on Earth and in space. Work alone or with a team to solve challenges that could help change the world. Check back here for event updates.

THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR IDEAS

Part of the Open Government Partnership, Space Apps is an annual event that pulls citizens together regardless of their background or skill level. Don't let the name fool you... it's not just about apps! Tackle a challenge using robotics, data visualization, hardware, design and many other specialties! Inspire each other while you learn and create using stories, code, design and, most of all, YOUR ideas. Show us your problem-solving skills and you may be a Space Apps award winner or featured on Open NASA!
