On Friday April 10 at 6:15 pm, the International Space Apps Challenge officially kicks off. It’s a two-day hackathon in which teams of technicians, scientists, designers, artists, educators, entrepreneurs, developers and students from around the world will strive to design innovative solutions to improve life on Earth and in space.
The challenge will begin with a press conferences held tomorrow at the Sapienza Faculty of Engineering (via Eudossiana 18) and a welcome by Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano.
The hackathon proper will take place on Saturday April 12 April at 9 am and end on April 13 with the selection of the two projects that will be forwarded to Nasa for the global competition.
Alfonso Molina, Professor of Technology Strategy at the University of Edinburgh and Scientific Director of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, will be a jury member.
