Space Apps 2020 will be coming to Biratnagar on October 2-4. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the interest of our global community’s health and safety, this year’s hackathon will be an all-virtual event. In other words, our event has moved to online. Our theme for this year’s event -- "Take Action" -- is a critical reminder that you can make a difference, even from the comfort and safety of home.
This is the second time the city will host NASA Space Apps Challenge and we plan to continue hosting to help all the apps enthusiasts in western Nepal to take this opportunity and participate. We are ready to help you showcase your innovative approaches to solve the global challenges locally!
