Charlotte, what challenge will you tackle at the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration International Space Apps Challenge? Tell a stellar story! ⭐

"Although the Sun is 93 million miles away from our planet, solar activity can significantly impact our daily lives. Your challenge is to write and illustrate a digital children’s story that explains what space weather is and the varying impacts it has on different people such as farmers, pilots, astronauts, power grid operators, and the general public. You can tell the story from the perspective of a person impacted by space weather or from the point of view of a solar flare or coronal mass ejection (CME) as it approaches Earth."

Skills for this challenge include animation, storytelling, science education, and knowledge of the sun and space weather. This year's event will be held at Sullenberger Aviation Museum October 4-5.

This is only one of many challenges that area youth can participate in at the Space Apps Challenge Charlotte. Learn more and register:

When we were younger, we often ran out of ideas for projects—not because we didn’t want to build or create, but because we didn’t yet know what meaningful problems were out there to solve. Looking back, that trial-and-error process, the cycle of trying again, was exactly how we grew.

That’s the magic of : you never know how much you’ll love something until you try it.

That’s also why hackathons like the International Space Apps Challenge are such powerful opportunities. They put real-world challenges in front of you and give you the space to experiment, collaborate, and explore. Whether you’re a student, a professional, or just curious about STEM, this is your chance to dive in.

Curiosity got you here—now let it take you further. Sign up today at spaceappsclt.org

Charlotte, what challenge will you tackle at the International Space Apps Challenge? Build a biology knowledge engine. 🌎

"NASA has been performing biology experiments in space for decades, generating a tremendous amount of information that will need to be considered as humans prepare to revisit the Moon and explore Mars. Although this knowledge is publicly available, it can be difficult for potential users to find information that pertains to their specific interests. Your challenge is to build a dynamic dashboard that leverages artificial intelligence (AI), knowledge graphs, and/or other tools to summarize a set of NASA bioscience publications and enables users to explore the impacts and results of the experiments these publications describe."

Skills needed for this challenge include AI and machine learning, data management, knowledge of flora and fauna, software building, and media/communications. This year's event will be held at Sullenberger Aviation Museum .

Charlotte, what challenge will you tackle at the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration International Space Apps Challenge? You could predict flower blooms. 🌻

"Witness the pulse of life across our planet! Your challenge is to harness the power of NASA Earth observations to create a dynamic visual tool that displays and/or detects plant blooming events around the globe—just like pollinators do—and that advances solutions for monitoring, predicting, or managing vegetation."

This particular challenge involves a variety of skills including animation, art, data analysis, creative writing, and knowledge of flora and fauna.

Charlotte, what challenge will you tackle at the Challenge? How about the Terra Animation Celebration: "NASA’s oldest daily Earth-viewing satellite – Terra – just turned 25 years old, and with five continuously operating instruments onboard, Terra has piled up a LOT of data over the years (over 9,000 days and counting!). Your challenge is to use data from any or all of Terra’s five instruments to create an animated product showcasing an Earth science story and emphasizing the impacts to you, your community, and/or the environment."

Imagine having access to data and images from NASA satellites like Terra. You can use that data to create animation about the world we live in. Register for the NASA Space Apps Challenge hosted by Queen City Robotics Alliance at the Sullenberger Aviation Museum October 4-5.
