WHAT IS NASA'S INTERNATIONAL SPACE APPS CHALLENGE?

Space Apps is an international hackathon that occurs over 48 hours in cities around the world. Coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, and everyone enthusiastic about curiosity come together to address challenges we face on Earth and in space!

We are back again this year on the 18th - 20th October Weekend in Ado-Ekiti to take part in the NASA International SpaceApps Challenge and welcome you to join us to make it bigger and better!

You will get to meet new people and team up to build something great. The best teams will be diverse so whether you are an artist, scientist, student, engineer, software developer, gamer or someone with massive enthusiasm and great ideas then you can get involved!
