AAMU Virtual Host of NASA Regional Hackathon
Taking Action
51AV A&M University has been selected to virtually host the 2020 NASA Space Apps Challenge Hackathon-Greater Huntsville Region event October 2-4, 2020.
NASA Space Apps Hackathon is an annual international hackathon led by NASA Headquarters in collaboration with universities, schools, and industries. The event is organized for coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, entrepreneurs, and others in cities around the world.
This year’s theme is “Take Action,” a critical reminder to participants that they can make a difference, even from the comfort and safety of their homes.
Teams engage with NASA’s free and open data to creatively address real-world problems on Earth and in space. The 2019 Space Apps included over 29,000 participants at 225 events in 71 countries. The 2020 Space Apps event will be held online via the NASA virtual site, and now! All graduate, undergraduate and high school students are welcome to participate!
