First edition in Samborondón, Ecuador

SPACE APPS Sambo

Join us for a weekend filled with creativity and innovation on October 18, 19 and 20 at Liceo Panamericano in Samborondón, where NASA Space Apps Challenge 2019 will take place.
This international event is held simultaneously as a "Hackathon" - hacker + marathon - in more than 200 cities around the world, gathering enthusiasts from the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) to interact with data from the NASA platform and come up with solutions to scientific challenges of the Earth and space.
Participants will have the opportunity to meet with other students and professionals from various areas (designers, programmers, engineers, entrepreneurs and scientists) who will be offering talks, conferences and mentoring to enhance their solution proposals. The two best teams will represent Samborondón in the international Space Apps segment. These teams will receive advice to create an action plan, connect with investors and develop their ideas.
International winners will be invited to attend the launch of a space mission at the Kennedy Space Center.
