NASA INTERNATIONAL SPACE APPS CHALLENGE
NASA, CSA, CNES, and JAXA invite you to “Take Action” from home on October 3-4, as part of an entirely virtual celebration of our 9th annual hackathon.
NASA International Space Apps Challenge is an international hackathon that will take place globally, also here in Sydney on October 3 - 4, 2020. The event embraces collaborative problem solving with the goal of producing open-source solutions to challenges we currently face on Earth and in space.
Our goal is to continue to develop the thriving tech community in Sydney by giving talented problem solvers an opportunity to showcase their skills for the greater good. This represents the core of NASA's Open Innovation Initiative.
Summary of NASA Space Apps Challenge - Sydney
MAIN OBJECTIVE:
NASA International Space Apps Challenge is a model for innovation. The ability to contribute towards solving meaningful challenges is the most important motivator for most participants in mass collaboration.
NASA educates and empowers students and engineers to acquire knowledge and skills in the disciplines of Science, Technology, and Engineering, by way of thinking boldly, taking initiative, and acting globally.
HACKATHON DAYS (3 - 4 OCTOBER):
At Space Apps Sydney events, teams of technologists, scientists, designers and entrepreneurs work together to develop answers to some of the most pressing challenges on earth and space using publicly available NASA data.
We invite everyone to be a part of this scientific exploration, as we unleash NASA’s data to problem solvers across the globe. We want you to join us in discovering our home planet at the NASA International Space Apps Sydney 2020!
Our global community is at the heart of Space Apps. We look forward to taking this journey again with you this year, from the comfort of home.
