NASA Space Apps Challenge is an international mass collaboration focused on space exploration that takes place over 48-hours in 250 cities around the world. It is going to be organized from October 19-20, 2019, simultaneously all over the world. Last year, we received more than 850 projects from 5 categories. Among them 50 teams were invited to participate at 48 hours global hackathon. It’s been a great honor for us that, among 220 cities all over the world, Bangladesh obtained 3rdand 5thplace in 2018, and Bangladesh won the championship in 2019, along with an additional finalist. We are on a roll and intent to continue to lead the world for this competition.
