Hello, Space Apps community!

For first time, the NASA Space Apps Challenge arrives at NEWPORT!!

NASA Space Apps Challenge 2020 is a global virtual hackathon for programmers, scientists, engineers, storytellers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts around the world to use NASA's open data to solve NASA-designed Challenges (challenge categories).

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Additionally, a set of awareness session has been planned to guide you in the best manner to develop your idea into a great project.

We will count with the support of mentors from UK Space Agency, Welsh Government, Airbus Defence & Space, B2Space and See Science STEM Ambassador Hub.

The two winning teams of the Space Apps NEWPORT event will receive a machined trophy sponsored by Burmetal, a prototyping support sponsored by all the partners and be chosen to enter the global competition., where NASA judges will determine the best solutions worldwide for the proposed challenges.
