This year our #SpaceAppsDelhi17 will be organized in Collaboration with HackSociety. HackSociety is a group of passionate hackers and community enablers who empower hackers to organize and attend cool hackathons around the country. The top strategic aim is to act as the first ever hackathon league here in India to lead the hackathon revolution from the front.

How can I register /participate?

Just click on the registration button at the top right of this page as well as fill up this GoogleForm. Registration is completely FREE OF COST. Though there is no mandatory requirement to form a team but we recommend you to form the one for you having members with varied skill-sets (depends on the challenge you pick up). This will only help you to innovate better and without much overload. After all, bringing together very diverse skills and talents is often a key to breakthrough innovation!

How/When do I form a team?

You can form your team at any time. If possible, we recommend that you form at least the foundation of your team prior to the event. You can then complete your team by adding 'free agents' at the Boot-camp to round out your team. 

If you do not have a team prior to the Space Apps weekend - don't worry!!! Register and show up and we'll make sure that you find a team that can benefit from your skills and insights.

Feel free to use our Facebook page to advertise your skills and look for a team.

Please note that all team members should register on the Space Apps site as well as on the GoogleForm . Moreover, you will not be able to add your team members to your project page if they have not registered.

Since the event is called Space Apps, do the solutions need to be applications?

In spite of the name, it is not just about APPS! There are challenges that involve robotics, data visualization, hardware, design, and many other innovative elements!

We recommend you to visit previous year's challenges and review the projects and solutions of the previous winners. This will help you to get a fair idea about what the last year's participants did to beat up the challenge!
