INNOVATE THE FUTURE OF SPACE!

Join us for the 2019 NASA Space Apps Challenge, a global hackathon in which teams work together to address challenges in Earth science and space exploration. Scientists, artists, programmers, students, makers, and anyone with a creative mindset is welcome to participate!

Two winning teams from each location will be nominated for global judging. Those teams will create a short video demo for their project, and judges from NASA will select a handful of global finalists from hundreds of submissions.

On the morning of Saturday, October 19th, everyone will come to either hackathon space at the Explorer's Club in Manhattan, or the Bushwick Generator in Brooklyn, for breakfast (only at the Bushwick location) and our hackathon kickoff, and then get hacking! A combined lunch / dinner will also be served.

Organizers and volunteers will be on hand to assist with any questions and help with team placement. Technology and science mentors will also be available in person and virtually to float between teams and answer any questions.

Sunday, October 20th we have breakfast and wrap up our projects. Project submission is at noon, no meals are provided (there are many options in the area of the venue). Team demos will start shortly after lunch, will be globally livestreamed.

Around 5pm we will conclude the demos, and our judges will announce the hackathon winners!

Participants under the age of 13 require adult supervision for the entirety of the hackathon.
