Teams
What should they do?
A few days before the contest, on its website, there are challenges and tasks that NASA offers to solve the participants. Tasks can be completely different and solutions can be presented in any forms - websites, applications, virtual or augmented reality. Participants must find the solution for their task within 24 hours.
How is the winner chosen?
After a 24-hour continuous marathon, participants must submit their projects to the members of the professional jury. Presentation of the project is a very important part of the work, because jury members don't know what's in your head. They rely on what you tell and show them.
What should I do if I want to participate?
Follow Space Apps Challenge's website and facebook page.
Where was it held?
