The US Embassy co-organizes with LOOP For Science & Technology the 2nd edition of NASA Space App Challenge. This year the challenge is taking place online on October 2-4.
On October 2-4, NASA is inviting coders, entrepreneurs, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, artists, and technologists to come together in a global, virtual hackathon. During a period of 48 hours, participants from around the world will come together to create virtual teams and solve challenges using NASA’s open-source data.
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, all local events will be moved online.) In this unprecedented time, the Space Apps community exists as a reminder that we have tools and talents that we can use to tackle the challenges that face our planet, as well as the ability to unite across boundaries and borders of all kinds.
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.
We believe that this challenge can be an excellent learning and visibility opportunity for you. At the end of this event, 2 projects will be submitted to represent Morocco in the global challenge.
