Honolulu

Welcome to Hawaiʻi's hub for the 2022 NASA SpaceApps Challenge! Individuals and groups from schools, businesses, and the general public are invited to register for a hybrid virtual and in-person hackathon on Oct. 1-2!

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is located in the most diverse community and environment in the world. We are a globally recognized center of learning and research, with a kuleana to serve the people and places of Hawaiʻi and our neighbors in the Pacific. The UH Institute for Astronomy’s mission is to advance scientific understanding of the origin and nature of the universe, by conducting high-impact research, developing new technologies to observe the cosmos, defending the planet from potentially hazardous asteroids, and sharing knowledge of astronomy through education and outreach, in particular engaging with the native Hawaiian community.

We will host the in-person portion at the Institute for Astronomy in Mānoa. We have multiple workspaces for teams, both indoors and outdoors, and refreshments will be provided. To register for the in-person event, you must be 18 or over. If you are younger, or located on another island, please join our virtual hackathon!
