Get Ready for an Out-of-This-World Event!

Mark your calendars for October 4-5, 2025, because NASA is gearing up to host the highly anticipated 2025 International Space Apps Challenge! In collaboration with 14 global Space Agency Partners, this groundbreaking event invites scientists, tech enthusiasts, and creative thinkers to team up and tackle real-world problems using NASA's extensive data, alongside contributions from partner agencies.

This Year’s Theme: Learn, Launch, Lead!

This year's inspiring theme—Learn, Launch, Lead—encourages participants to: - **Learn** vital skills that open doors to STEM careers. - **Launch** innovative ideas that transform NASA’s treasure trove of open data into practical, actionable tools. - **Lead** initiatives that foster community-driven technological advancements.

Spotlight Challenge: Hunt for Exoplanets Using AI!

One of the highlights of the event is the Astrobiology Challenge: 'A World Away: Hunting for Exoplanets with AI.' With thousands of planets beyond our solar system already discovered through various space missions, the majority were identified through manual observation. Imagine the possibilities that the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) could unlock!

Participants are tasked with developing an AI/ML model that harnesses NASA’s open-source exoplanet datasets. Your mission? Train this model to analyze fresh data and accurately pinpoint new exoplanets hiding in the cosmos.
