Join the NASA Space Apps Challenge on November 14-15
The NASA Space Apps Challenge offers opportunities for anyone with an interest in space and science to address real-world challenges through our annual hackathon and global community. All ages, skill levels, and professional backgrounds are welcome. At NASA Space Apps, there's always space for one more!
Each year, thousands of teams submit projects that demonstrate collaboration, creativity, and address challenges we face on Earth and in space using NASA data. These projects undergo multiple rounds of judging to determine the 10 Global Winners, representing the most innovative projects submitted by participants.

The annual NASA Space Apps Challenge provides the opportunity to engage directly with NASA’s data, along with Space Agency Partner data. During the two-day hackathon, teams use this data to address challenges written by NASA Subject Matter Experts, featuring topics including storytelling, software development, astrophysics, space exploration, agriculture, and more.
“I believe it is paramount to give the next generation of scientists, engineers, designers, and more from across the world a chance to contribute to NASA’s overall mission. The NASA Space Apps Challenge provides this opportunity by giving people – from all backgrounds and walks of life – a way to engage directly with NASA scientists and open data,” said Dr. Nicky Fox, Associate Administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.
When you participate in NASA Space Apps, you join a community that shares a desire to propel humanity forward through scientific and technological innovation.
“The NASA Space Apps Challenge changed my perspective on NASA’s data. I realized there are so many different datasets, and we can use them to make solutions that matter here on Earth or even in space.” - Space Apps Participant
