High school students! Come alone or with your team of up to 4 hackers and participate in Space Apps Next Gen — the first two-day high school space hackathon. You'll compete to build software, open hardware, data visualization, and citizen science platform solutions that contribute to space exploration and solve global challenges that focus on improving life on earth. Challenges this year are:
→ DATA DIVE: Create an app, data aggregator, or visualization of open NASA data to educate and involve the public with trends and information.
→ SENSOR YOURSELF: Build something that can allow robots or astronauts to navigate through a hazardous obstacle course relying solely on sensor data.
→ "SPACE INVADERS": Create a game set in space! Have fun and be creative!
→ CREATE YOUR OWN: As long as it relates to space science or is an innovative solution to a problem your team can solve, create your own 'Space App'!
