Now in its 9th year, Space Apps is an international hackathon for coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, and others in cities around the world, where teams engage with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s free and open data to address real-world problems on Earth and in space.

Registration for Space Apps 2020 (October 2-4) is now open! In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the interest of our global community’s health and safety, NASA and the Space Apps Global Organizing Team have made the decision to make this year’s hackathon an all-virtual event.

Our theme for this year -- “Take Action” -- is a critical reminder that you can make a difference, even from the comfort and safety of home.
