What is NASA Space Apps Challenge?
Space Apps is a 2 days global hackathon, gathering each year tens of thousands of problem solvers around the globe practicing collaborative problem solving in order to produce relevant open-source solutions addressing problems affecting life both on Earth and in space.

Coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, students, engineers, entrepreneurs, artists, and problem solvers of all types, everyone enthusiastic about space, this event is for you!

What are we going to do this year?
2017 edition features five categories of challenges
- The Earth and Us
- Planetary Blues
- Warning! Danger Ahead!,
- Our Ecological Neighborhood
- Ideate & Create!
A preview of the challenges can be found on the Space Apps blog.
Gather a team of people with a diverse background, choose your challenge and register. During the event's two days you will work together to develop an innovative solution to your challenge (be it a website, a mobile app, a concept or a hardware prototype).
Your team will present the solution to the event audience including an expert jury.
The best solutions will then compete on a global level!
