NEW YORK: The International Space Apps Challenge, held April 11-12, looks to bring teams together to “tackle space science and technology problems.” The event poses 35 different challenges to solve in four categories: outer space, Earth, humans and robotics. Teams get access to open data to develop the apps.
The event is happening at locations around the world. For the Baltimore-Washington area, the two-day session will take place at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md. Teams will get a chance to work in Building 200, which is APL’s Space Exploration Sector building. It’s one of the places where probes that were sent to Pluto and Mercury were developed.
