Challenges to better understand Earth and Space!
In 2013, Madrid became a founding site for NASA's Space Apps Challenge, a worldwide hackathon that has enabled historic global collaboration between volunteers, private companies, NGOs, and government agencies. In 2017 over 25,000 people participated all over the world from 187 locations in 69 countries building 1,300 projects. Since its founding, our Space Apps Madrid team has locally organized five hackathons, also, by partnering with Space Apps in Argentina, Lithuania, Kosovo, Portugal, Dominican Republic... we are expanding to more boroughs in order to run multiple locations for the hackathon and bootcamp.
