NASA Space Apps is back and giving winners life changing prizes!

NASA’s Space Apps Challenge has proudly served as a hub for learning, innovation, and collaboration. In that spirit, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the interest of our community’s health and safety, NASA and the Space Apps Global Organizing Team have made the difficult yet important and exciting decision to make Space Apps 2020 on October 2-4 an all-virtual hackathon. The theme for this year’s Space Apps event is “Taking Action”, a critical reminder that, even from the comfort and safety of home, we can make a difference.

And this year the first place winning team will receive from the Cyprus Space Exploration organisation (CSEO) mentorship from international space engineers and a prize of €500 to support in furthering their solution.

An email will be sent on Friday 2nd of October to Nicosia competition registrants with details of connecting with the competition.
