Choosing a Challenge
Challenges are developed by NASA Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and encompass a wide variety of topics from Earth and space science to the arts.
A summary of each challenge will be released on August 22, 2024. Full challenge statements, which include the full details, resources, and requirements, will become available closer to the start of the hackathon, in September. We encourage you to review each challenge statement and select one for your team project before the hackathon starts. Follow NASA Space Apps on social media (X, Facebook, Instagram, และ YouTube) and check your Messages inbox to find out as soon as challenge summaries and challenge statements become available.
We appreciate the enthusiasm of participants who want to start as early as possible. However, participants should NOT begin working on their project until the hackathon begins on October 5, 2024 (9:00 a.m. local time) to ensure a fair and equitable process.
Since the NASA Space Apps Challenge is held over the course of only two days, participants are not expected to submit a fully developed project at the end.
Questions about challenges or supporting resources can be asked in Space Apps Connect in the week prior to and during the hackathon. NASA Space Apps Navigators and NASA Subject Matter Experts will be available to answer your challenge and data-related questions.
For information on how to access Space Apps Connect, please read our Space Apps Connect guide. The guide will become available on September 23, 2024 on the Resources page.
To be eligible for Global Judging and Global Awards, teams must respond to one of the challenges. However, you have the option to select “Create Your Own Challenge” to develop a project based on your own idea, but projects submitted in this category will not be eligible for Global Awards.
Projects in the “Create Your Own Challenge” category may be eligible for Local Awards, which are specific to a Local Event. We encourage you to check with your Local Lead to determine if Local Awards are a part of your Local Event and if “Create Your Own Challenge” projects are eligible to receive a Local Award.
Forming a Team
A key part of the NASA Space Apps Challenge experience is connecting with like-minded problem solvers both from your own community and around the world! Participants are encouraged to form teams that include individuals with diverse skills and backgrounds. A diverse team not only enhances learning opportunities but also positions your team for greater success in the hackathon.
Find step-by-step instructions on how to create or join a team in the Team Formation Guide. The guide will become available on August 22, 2024 on the Resources page.
Yes. While a participant is allowed to create a team and submit a project independently, we encourage all participants to be part of an actual team. We have found that the most successful projects come from teams of individuals with a variety of skills and backgrounds. For example, we encourage participants with non-technical backgrounds to connect with developers, designers, and people with scientific backgrounds to form a team.
Teams can be one to six people but the ideal size for a team is four to five people to balance skill sets. No more than six people are allowed per team.
You will be able to officially join or create a team on the NASA Space Apps website on August 22, 2024, when the challenge summaries are released. Identifying a challenge that interests you can be a helpful first step in forming or joining a team.
You may also wait to form your team until the hackathon. You may add members to your team until the hackathon ends on October 6, 2024 (11:59 p.m. local time).
Yes. One person from each team is responsible for creating and registering the team. That person is known as the “Team Owner.” Please note that the Team Owner’s Local Event will represent the team and will appear on the respective Local Event page.
The Local Event your team is associated with affects two things:
- Project due date: All projects must be submitted on October 6, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. (local time) in accordance with the Local Event for which your team is registered. Please note: *If your team is registered for the Universal Event, your project must be submitted in accordance with the local time of the person who created the team.
- Project judging: During the first round of judging, your team’s project will be evaluated by the Local Judges at the Local Event for which your team is registered.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TEAM OWNERS: Please make sure you fill in the “Team Owner Contact Information” field when creating your team. This will be the only way for new team members to get in contact with you through the NASA Space Apps website. Any information you put into this field will only be viewable by your team members – it will not be viewable to the public on the website.
We encourage you to invite your friends and community members to participate with you! You can also find teams through:
- Your Local Lead, who may know other registered participants looking for teammates. Find the contact information for your Local Lead on your Local Event page.
- The Team Formation page
- Space Apps Connect, which will become available in late September.
Yes. You may remove yourself from a team by selecting the “Leave Team” option at the bottom of the page. This is also where Team Owners can approve/deny pending join requests or remove existing team members. Team Owners can also delete the team by clicking the red “Delete Team” at the bottom of the page.
If a Team Owner leaves a team, they will need to identify a new Team Owner for the team.
If you’ve already created a team but have changed your mind about which challenge you want to tackle, you are welcome to pick a new challenge. The Team Owner can do this by choosing the blue “Edit Details” option on your team’s About page.
Project Submission
The purpose of the NASA Space Apps Challenge is to inspire innovative ideas and develop solution-oriented projects in a collaborative, team environment. Therefore, teams are not expected to submit a fully developed project at the end of the hackathon. We encourage all participants to submit what they accomplish over the course of the two-day event.
Find step-by-step instructions on how to submit your project in the Project Submission Guide. The guide will become available on September 23, 2024 on the Resources page.
Each team must create a project page on the NASA Space Apps website to describe the scope of their work. We recommend that teams create this page as soon as the hackathon begins and update it with additional information as the event progresses.
To be eligible for Global Judging, all team members must be registered for the hackathon, select either a Local Event or the Universal Event, and be listed on the team’s project page.
Project submission opens on October 5, 2024 at 9:00 a.m., in accordance with the local time of the Local Event for which your Team Owner is registered. At that time, your team will be able to edit your team’s project page and submit your project on your team’s project tab.
Project submission closes on October 6, 2024 at 11:59 p.m., in accordance with the local time of the Local Event for which your Team Owner is registered.
Exception: If your team is registered for the Universal Event, project submission opens on October 5, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. and closes on October 6, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. in accordance with the local time of your Team Owner’s area of residence.
