Bored out of your mind due to the pandemic situation? Looking for opportunities to brainstorm on global issues and find solutions? Here is the right place. Welcome to NASA InternationalSpace Apps Challenge 2021!
The International Space Apps Challenge was such a success in its early years that it has now become an annual event. The purpose of the event is to continue to give people everywhere an unprecedented opportunity to use NASA data to develop meaningful solutions to help to address critical needs applicable to both life in space and on Earth, and that it becomes a global community of individuals excited about collaborating to advance the frontiers of space science and technology.
On October 2-3, NASA is inviting coders, entrepreneurs, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, artists, and technologists to come together in a global, virtual hackathon. During a period of 48 hours, participants from around the world will come together to create virtual teams and solve challenges using NASA’s open-source data.
Dayananda Sagar University, Bangalore is joining with the NASA Space Apps Challenge to host the Virtual Hackathon from October 2-3th!

What is the theme of Space Apps for 2021?
This year’s event theme is “The Power of Ten.” This theme was chosen by NASA for several reasons. One, it celebrates the fact that this year’s event is the tenth annual event. Since 2012, Space Apps has grown leaps and bounds -- thanks to you! Two, it reminds us that the next ten years have much in store, both for NASA and for Space Apps. Three, the theme captures some of the ways that we are celebrating the tenth annual event this year, which includes our inclusion of additional space agency partners and additional Global Awards -- among other things!
We are there!
This year's theme is "Take Action," is a critical reminder that you can make a difference, even from the comfort and safety of home.
We hope Space Apps Challenge will excite all the aspirants and make the journey really awesome.
