REGISTER FOR THE 2025 NASA SPACE APPS CHALLENGE

Choose a Local Event: We suggest that participants choose an in-person or virtual Local Event based on their physical location. The NASA Space Apps Challenge features hundreds of Local Events, allowing participants to find potential teammates located in the same community or time zone, or those who speak the same language.

Find a Local Event on the 2025 Local Events page. You can search by your location name or use the map to locate a Local Event near you. If there are no Local Events in your area, you can register for the virtual Universal Event.

If an event is at capacity, you can select to join the waitlist. If space becomes available, you will be added to the Local Event by the Local Lead. You can change your Local Event by clicking "Leave this Event" on the Local Event page you have chosen.

CHOOSE A LOCAL EVENT

Local Leads are the organizers of NASA Space Apps Challenge Local Events. They are available to answer questions and help connect you to potential teammates prior to the hackathon. Local Leads are the primary points of contact for your Local Event and will support your hackathon experience. You may find their contact information on your Local Event’s page. Please reach out to them as you prepare, and for specific details regarding your Local Event!

The NASA Space Apps GO Team will send updates about the hackathon with Space Apps Messages, you can check those from the menu under your profile icon. Additionally, your Local Lead may utilize Space Apps Messages to send updates about your Local Event.
