BASIS, Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services, along with BASIS Student’s Forum & Cloud Camp Bangladesh is organizing consecutively for the 10th time NASA Space Apps Challenge 2023 during October 6, Friday and Saturday, October 7, 2023.

NASA is going to organize this event in 350+ Cities Globally. From Bangladesh 9 Cities (Dhaka, Sylhet, Chattogram, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, Khulna, Barisal, and Cumilla) will be able to participate in this Global Hack-a-Thon. It will involve any and all University students in Bangladesh virtually, and nearly ten thousand students will be reached in this event. The 2023 NASA International Space Apps Challenge theme is “Make Space!” At Space Apps, we strive to eliminate barriers of access to space and science opportunities. Space Apps is for anyone and everyone! Participants from around the world are welcomed regardless of background and experience to create, explore, learn, and build together. Through each year’s Space Apps Challenge, we continue to support and empower ideas through innovation and inclusion.

NASA Space Apps Challenge is an international mass collaboration focused on space exploration that takes place over 48-hours in 350+ cities around the world. It is going to be organized from October 6 and October 7, 2023, simultaneously and virtually all over the world. Last year, in Bangladesh, we received more than 500 projects from 5 categories. Among them 50 teams were invited to participate at 48 hours global hackathon physically. It’s been a great honor for us that, among 220 cities all over the world, Bangladesh’s own TEAM DIAMONDS was awarded champion for the Most Inspirational category. In addition, Bangladesh obtained 3rd and 5th place in 2017, and Bangladesh won the championship in 2018, and 2021; along with additional finalists in 2019 and 2020 from Bangladesh. We are on a roll and intent to continue to lead the world for this competition!!

All are welcome in Space Apps. The common thread among Space Apps participants is that you are interested in space science and exploration, you are creative, and you want to solve problems. Over 31,561 people from 148 countries and in 251 cities around the world participated in the 2020 International Space Apps Challenge. If you can’t find a Space Apps event located near you, or you could not join in time for the Bangladesh event, join the Virtual Event online, and do the Space Apps challenge from your home!

Space Apps builds connections. As a part of Space Apps, you are part of a global hack-a-thon community that embraces collaboration across borders, sectors, and cultures to bring about paradigm-shifting innovation.
