ABOUT THE SPACE APPS CHALLENGE
NASA’s International Space Apps Challenge encourages innovation, creativity and collaborative problem-solving by gathering coders, makers, citizen scientists, technologists, artists, engineers, storytellers, students, and entrepreneurs together for a 48 hour problem-solving marathon hosted simultaneously in cities around the world over the course of a single weekend. Local events are organized independently and then coordinated with the larger community with NASA as the center of communications. |

949 solutions produced by 13,699 participants worldwide joined together from 133 cities in 62 countries across 6 continents supported by 6 Astronauts generated 30,855,000 #SpaceApps tweets |
SPACE APPS SAN FRANCISCO (APRIL 23rd-24th)
The San Francisco chapter of the 2016 NASA Space Apps Challenge will gather 100+ attendees to hack on NASA’s new focus areas: Aeronautics, Earth, Space Station, Journey to Mars, Solar System & Beyond, and Space Technology.
This hackathon encourages citizen science, collaboration, free exploration and contributing to the public good. It is not for profit. The team of organizers for San Francisco is comprised of four volunteers. We all have unrelated full-time jobs and we contribute our free time to organizing and running this event because we’re passionate about the philosophy behind the hackathon.
