Event Schedule

Participant arrival, local organizer welcome, event orientation, and communication channel briefing.

Overview of NASA Space Apps challenge themes, judging expectations, team roles, and submission requirements.

Participants confirm teams, meet collaborators, discuss skills, and take a lunch break before the build sprint.

Teams explore NASA and partner datasets, map problem statements, and define early project direction.

Teams choose a concept, outline user needs, define impact, and plan the prototype or storytelling flow.

Mentors review ideas, data sources, feasibility, and project scope so teams can focus their build.

Teams start building demos, visualizations, presentations, research concepts, or learning tools.

Progress check, reminders for overnight work, and key notes for Day 2 submission readiness.
