The NASA International Space Apps Challenge is the largest annual global hackathon. This two-day event creates innovation through international collaboration by providing an opportunity for participants to utilize NASA’s free and open data and its Space Agency Partners’ space-based data to address real-world problems on Earth and in space. No programming experience needed!

Challenges are developed by NASA Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and encompass a wide variety of topics from Earth and space science to the arts. More information of the challenges can be found here: challenges.
