Who can participate? đĒ
Space Apps is for everyone! This includes those who have never "hacked" before! All passionate problem solvers are encouraged to join - students, experts, engineers, makers, artists, and storytellers. While some of our challenges are technical, others ask you to use your artistic skills, your business acumen, and your historical imaginations! In other words, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A CODER to be part of Space Apps. In fact, the most diverse teams are often the most successful!
Where will the event take place? đ
The NASA Space Apps Challenge will be VIRTUAL and take place primarily over Discord. However, we encourage you to meet with your team at Pasadena City College to collaborate and work together!
