WELCOME TO SPACE APP CHALENGE FOR THE YEAR 2022

Coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, space enthusiasts, and problem solvers:

WE NEED YOU!

Space Apps Kano is proud to host its local hackathon for the second year in a row. Since 2019, it is our pleasure to host this event in person for our esteemed participants to register.

The hackathon embraces collaborative problem solving to produce relevant open-source solutions to advance space exploration missions and improve life on Earth. It is open to anyone who has a passion for making a difference and is focused on developing real solutions to global challenges.

HELLO, SPACE APPS COMMUNITY!

Space Apps 2022 will be coming to you on October 1-2, 2022.

This page contains information relevant to ALL participants - no matter which local event you’re registered for. To see the particular details for your local event, please select the “Event Info” tab above. That page is important because your location may be hosting special events, offering local awards, or providing additional opportunities that are not reflected on this page or in our other materials.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS

Check out Our Resources

  • Our theme for Space Apps 2022 is "Make Space" celebrating that, at Space Apps, "there's always space for one more." Click here to read more about this year's theme.
  • As you begin your Space Apps journey, the best resource for you to read is the 2022 Participant FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).
  • Before the hackathon begins, detailed guides (on chat, team formation, project submission, and judging and awards) will be posted on the Space Apps resources page and on your user dashboard under "Resources & Hackathon Tips.”

Register for a Location

  • You will not be able to participate in the hackathon until you have registered for a location. Please click the "Register Now" button on this page to register for this location or to create a Space Apps account (if you do not already have one).
  • If there is a location for your city or for a city near you, please register for that location. (Locations will be added through early September, so please check back for your location.)
  • If you do not see a local event for your city, please join the Universal Event.
  • You can change your location at any time in your user dashboard by selecting "Change Location."
  • Registration will be open through the end of the hackathon. However, we encourage you to create an account and register for a location far in advance to ensure that you get plugged into the local community and that you can take full advantage the resources that will open before the hackathon begins, such as chat and team formation.

Contact Your Local Lead

Each location page contains contact information for the “Local Leads” -- the Space Apps volunteers from your location who will be organizing events and providing support to participants both prior to and during the hackathon.

Save the Dates

The hackathon will begin Saturday, October 1 at 9:00 a.m. (local time) and end on Sunday, October 2 at 11:59 p.m. (local time). But there are other important milestones before then, such as the release of challenges and virtual bootcamp videos, as well as the opening of chat and team formation. See the Participant FAQ for all of the important dates.

Recruit Friends

We encourage you to invite your friends along! Typical Space Apps teams have 2-6 participants (the limit is 6 members per team). Space Apps is all about collaboration and the most successful teams are often ones with a diverse set of skills and expertise -- coding, storytelling, creativity, data, science, engineering, technology, and more.
