There is no cost to participate in the Space Apps Challenge. If you are asked to pay money to participate in any aspect of a NASA Space Apps event, do not pay anything, and please report to [email protected] .

Space Apps is for everyone, including those who have never “hacked" before! All passionate problem solvers, from students to life-long learners, are encouraged to join. While some of our challenges are technical, others ask you to use artistic skills, business acumen, or your imagination.

In other words, you do not need to be a coder or data expert to be a part of the Space Apps Challenge. In fact, teams with the most diverse sets of skills are often the most successful!

The theme for the 2023 Space Apps Challenge will be announced soon - keep an eye on our social channels and the spaceappschallenge.org homepage for more information.

The NASA International Space Apps Challenge is a hackathon for coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, and innovators around the world to come together and use open data from NASA and its Space Agency Partners to create solutions to challenges we face on Earth and in space. NASA Space Apps Challange, which started in 2012, has now become the largest annual global hackathon in the world.
