Method 1: From the "Find a Team" Page
Method 2: From the "Challenges" Page
Method 3: From Your Local Event Page
Final Step: Once you choose your method to create a team, fill out the required fields to complete the “Create a Team” form (see example below). You are now the Team Owner!
Team Management: As the Team Owner, you will have the ability to approve/deny team member requests, remove members from your team, change the Team Owner, and delete the team.
Team Member Requests: Team Owners can approve or deny requests to join their team by navigating to the "Members" tab of their team page. When a participant requests to join a team, an email is sent to the Team Owner. The Team Owner can approve or deny the request from the "Members" tab. The participant will then receive an email letting them know if they have been accepted or denied. As a Team Owner, it is your responsibility to respond to member requests in a timely manner.
Team Communications: As a Team Owner, you are required to include information on where team members can connect. Team Owners will see a “Team Contact Information” field when editing the “About” tab on their team page. Please enter your preferred contact information here, such as a third-party communications app or email, so that team members can easily get in touch with you and other team members. The information you put here will appear on the “Members” tab of your team page. This information is only viewable for members of your team. Your team members will rely on this information to successfully connect with one another.
Changing Your Team Owner: If you wish to change the owner of your team, you may do so on the "About" tab of your team page under the Team Owner section. In the dropdown, select another member of the team, then click “Publish” in order to save the changes. Note: Only the existing Team Owner will be able to assign a new Team Owner. If your Team Owner is unresponsive and has not assigned a new Team Owner, then you will have to join or create a new team.
Deleting & Making Updates to Your Team: All changes to your team can be made under the "Members" tab of the team page.
Method 1: From the "Find a Team" Page
Method 2: From the "Challenges" Page
Method 3: From Your Local Event Page
Once you choose a method to search for a team:
Joining or Leaving a Team
Once your request to join a team is approved, reach out to your Team Owner as soon as possible. Your Team Owner’s contact information will be on the “Members” tab of your team page. This will ensure you can connect with fellow team members and begin work on your project. If your Team Owner is unresponsive or you want to leave a team for any reason, you can do so by selecting the “Leave Team” option at the bottom of the Members tab on your team page.
You can also search for teams and chat with potential team members in the Find a Team category of Space Apps Connect once it opens on September 23. Learn more in the Space Apps Connect guide.
Local Event Participation & Judging: Your team’s Local Event is automatically assigned to the Local Event of the Team Owner. All team members must be confirmed participants at the same Local Event in order for your team’s project to be eligible for awards. If you are waitlisted for a Local Event, please reach out to the Local Lead to request acceptance to the event. If the Local Lead declines or does not respond, each member of the team should switch to another Local Event that has room for all participants or the Universal Event.
You can access your team page by clicking on your profile icon on the NASA Space Apps main menu. Click on “My Team,” which will take you to your team page. After navigating to your team’s page, you will see three tabs available for editing:
Navigate to your team’s page, then go to the blue “Edit Details” button on the left side. This tab displays information about your team and is divided into three categories:
Use this tab to access your project page and submit your project for judging. Start by selecting the blue “Edit Project” button on the right side of the screen. Project pages will open for editing once the hackathon begins on October 4 at 9 a.m. (local time). This is the page that the judges will review.
For details regarding specific requirements for project submission, see the Project Submission Guide.
This section displays all team members and allows you to make changes to your team if you are a Team Owner, including approving/denying team member requests, leaving a team, removing team members, or deleting a team.
