Innovate the future of space!
Join us for the 2019 NASA Space Apps Challenge, a global hackathon in which teams work together to address challenges in Earth science and space exploration. Scientists, artists, programmers, students, makers, and anyone with a creative mindset is welcome to participate!
Two winning teams from each location will be nominated for global judging. Those teams will create a short video demo for their project, and judges from NASA will select a handful of global finalists from hundreds of submissions. The global winner will receive a trip to NASA Kennedy Space Center for a rocket launch!
For a week leading up to the hackathon, we will host a series of data bootcamps to introduce hackers to tools and technologies which will empower them in designing their projects. These bootcamps will be free for all and take place during week nights.
During the evening of Friday, October 18th we will have our hacker orientation. Everyone participating in the hackathon will check in, set up all required software accounts, learn about the challenges, hear from our sponsors and mentors about the support available during the weekend, form teams, and get ready for a weekend of hacking.
On the morning of Saturday, October 19th, everyone will return to either our Manhattan (Explorer's Club) or Brooklyn (Bushwick Generator) locations for our hacakthon kickoff, and then get to hacking! A modest brunch will be available, along with a late lunch buffet by Burrito Republic.
Organizers and volunteers will be on hand to assist with any questions and help with team placement. Technology and science mentors will also be available in person and virtually to float between teams and answer any questions.
Sunday, October 20th we wrap up our projects, bruch is again provided. Project submission is at noon. Team demos will start shortly after lunch, will be globally livestreamed, and is open for friends and family to attend.
Around 5pm we will conclude the demos and our judges will announce the hackathon winners!
Participants under the age of 18 require adult supervision for the entirety of the hackathon.
