ADDRESS REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES WITH NASA DATA

Whether you’re a student, professional, technologist, engineer or artist, the NASA International Space Apps Challenge offers opportunities for anyone with an interest in space and science through our hackathon and global community. All ages, skill levels, and professional backgrounds are welcome. At NASA Space Apps, there's always space for one more!

Real-World Challenges

The NASA Space Apps Challenge provides the opportunity to engage directly with NASA’s data, along with Space Agency Partner data. During the hackathon, teams use this data to address challenges written by NASA Subject Matter Experts, featuring topics including storytelling, software development, astrophysics, space exploration, agriculture, and more.

“It is astounding to see what is possible when people come together to address the challenges we face in our endeavor to learn more about life on Earth,” said NASA Earth Science Division Director, Dr. Karen St. Germain.

Meet like-minded individuals

When you participate in NASA Space Apps, you join a global community that shares a desire to learn and an interest in exploring our planet and universe through science and technology.
