Participants have the opportunity to leverage NASA’s free and open data, along with data from its Space Agency Partners, to tackle real-world challenges both on Earth and in space.

At hundreds of local in-person and virtual events worldwide, participants collaborate to address challenges designed by NASA subject matter experts (SMEs). The hackathon features challenges that span technology, arts, and humanities, offering a wide range of opportunities for all interests and skill levels. From creating artistic visualizations of NASA data to developing innovative apps and software, participants can engage in meaningful problem-solving across various complexities.
