NASA International Space Apps Challenge at the University of York

For the fifth year running the University of York is hosting NASA’s International Space Apps Challenge!

What is NASA’s International Space Apps Challenge? 

NASA is on a mission to foster innovation around challenges affecting us at home and in space. As one of the world’s largest international annual hackathons, we designed Space Apps for problem solvers like you. This 48-hour event inspires citizen teamwork for positive change across every skill level and discipline.

We invite engineers, coders, makers, artists and storytellers to connect over mission-related challenges. The growing Space Apps community represents the core of NASA’s Open Innovation Initiative. Together, citizens like you have developed thousands of open-source solutions. Your big ideas are shaped using data visualizations, hardware, code, design and more!

The Hackathon is free to attend, with free food and drink and prizes for the best projects at a local, national, and international level. Form a group and join us for a weekend of frantic coding!
