NASA APP Development Challenge

 Middle and High School Students and Educators,

Join the Artemis Generation! This September we are launching the next NASA App Development Challenge (ADC). This coding challenge is where NASA presents technical problems to middle and high school students seeking student contributions to deep space exploration missions. In this ADC, students work in teams to develop an app that visualizes the South Pole region of the Moon. Teams will utilize lunar terrain data to create a visualization that displays essential information for navigation and communication.

The challenge begins on September 30, 2020 and concludes with video submissions on November 18, 2020. During the challenge, teams will participate in live virtual connections with NASA subject matter experts to learn more about coding, app development, space communications and navigation. Teams with favorable submissions advance to present their app in an interview with engineers and scientists working with NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) team. After interviews, NASA will select the Top Team(s) for a culminating event experience in February 2021. To participate in the ADC, lead educators must register to participate in the challenge. For more information or to register go to www.nasa.gov/education/appchallenge or contact the ADC team at JSC-M2MSTEM@mail.nasa.gov.

 

Sincerely,

NASA App Development Challenge Team
