What is a hackathon?
Traditionally, hackathons are technology development marathons that draw on the talents and initiative of bright-minded volunteers –such as software developers, engineers, technologists, designers, scientists, and anyone with a passion and desire to have an immediate impact on the world. Hackathons are open to anyone, and are focused on developing real solutions to global challenges by the end of the event. For each year’s International Space Apps Challenge, NASA designs challenges, and the Global Organizing Team work with local hosts around the world to implement events where teams work intensively to design solutions over the course of a 48-hour period.

Teams and individuals welcome. Come along and join an existing team if you think you have something to offer. Everyone welcome.

The event is FREE to everyone and will run from 10 am on Saturday October 19, through the night until end of play Sunday, October 20.
