The NASA Space Apps Virtual Bootcamp is a collection of video tutorials that guide you through the hackathon experience, including registration, hackathon tips & tricks, the challenges, Global Offers, and more.
Returning Participants: Log in to your existing NASA Space Apps account.
New Participants: Sign up for a NASA Space Apps account. Once you input your information, you will be prompted to verify your email address.
Register: Registration for the 2024 NASA Space Apps Challenge opens July 18 and will remain open through the end of the hackathon on October 6, 2024 (11:59 p.m. local time).
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. If there are no Local Events in your area, you can register for the virtual Universal Event.
You can change your Local Event by clicking "Leave this Event" on the Local Event page you have chosen.
Teams may consist of participants from one Local Event or from several Local Events. You may choose to join a team that is tied to another Local Event because you like their project idea. You may also choose to invite people from other Local Events to join your team because you need their skills. During Local Judging your project will be evaluated by the Local Judges at the Local Event for which your team is registered.
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!
Global Collaborators are companies or organizations that provide free tools and resources to NASA Space Apps Challenge participants to support the creation of their projects.
