Though there is no mandatory requirement to form a team we recommend you to form the one for you having members with varied skill-sets (depends on the challenge you pick up). This will only help you to innovate better and without much overload. After all, bringing together very diverse skills and talents is often a key to breakthrough innovation!
How/When do I form a team?
You can form your team at any time. If possible, we recommend that you form at least the foundation of your team before the event. You can then complete your team by adding 'free agents' at the Boot-camp to round out your team.
If you do not have a team before the Space Apps weekend - don't worry!!! Register and show up and we'll make sure that you find a team that can benefit from your skills and insights.
Since the event is called Space Apps, do the solutions need to be applications?
Despite the name, it is not just about APPS! Some challenges involve robotics, data visualization, hardware, design, and many other innovative elements!
We recommend you to visit the previous year's challenges and review the projects and solutions of the previous winners. This will help you to get a fair idea about what the last year's participants did to beat up the challenge!
