After almost 8 months of organizing, we held our 3rd annual Space Apps Ottawa weekend hackathon. This is the NASA International Space Apps Hackathon, with a Canadian twist.
For those who don’t know, the hackathon is an intense 48-hour global weekend coding event for developers, designers, engineers, entrepreneurs, astronomers and enthusiasts. Along with over 200 cities around the world, Ottawa teams worked all weekend to solve NASA- and CSA-designed challenges that leverage spacecraft, celestial & science data.
Hosted at Carleton University’s Technology Innovation Management (TIM) program, we had the support of so many organizers, volunteers, mentors, judges, and organizations.
