The mission of the NASA Space Apps Challenge is to stimulate collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, to encourage interest in exploring Earth and space, to increase global awareness of NASA’s data, and to develop the next generation of scientists, engineers, technology specialists, and designers. During the hackathon, teams from cities worldwide use NASA’s (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) public data and data from its space agency partners to address real-world issues on Earth and in space over 48 hours.
The program involves thousands of people worldwide, including programmers, scientists, designers, storytellers, creators, builders, and technology specialists. Since its launch in 2012, the NASA Space Apps Challenge has attracted over 220,000 participants from more than 185 countries and territories.
Regarding the Romanian edition, two winning teams will be selected from each of the five cities in Romania to participate in the global competition, where they will compete with over 3,000 teams worldwide.
