// What is Space Apps?



NASA Space Apps is an international hackathon for coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, engineers, makers, and space enthusiasts around the world, where teams engage with NASA’svast collection of open data to address real problems on Ea!hand in space.



// What to expect



Participants will use NASA's data to create solutions to the challenges specified for this hackathon. Challenges will open near the date of the event, and participants will join teams, or bring their own teams to work towards the solutions. Challenges will be chosen on the day of the event by the teams. We will have one whole day of coding, and one day for a presentation pitching contest, where a jury will decide who will qualify for the global competition. The hackathon won't be held overnight because of our host working hour restrictions, but teams can continue to work on their projects and seek for help from organizers.
