The Canadian Space Agency (CSA<\/abbr>) is proud to have participated in the\u00a011th annual NASA<\/span> Space Apps Challenge. From

<\/p>\n

This year the CSA<\/abbr> offered four different challenges that participants could attempt to tackle: exploring the distant universe with the James Webb Space Telescope, the space survival adventure, the global methane pledge, and finally an asteroid delivery service. Teams had to pick just one to focus for the weekend hackathon and present a solution. Participants also had the option to take on one of NASA<\/span>‘s many challenges.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Participants from Halifax, Inuvik, Mississauga, Vancouver, Hamilton, Ottawa, and Calgary joined forces with people from various backgrounds, professions, and interests from around the world to solve challenges using Canadian open data. The CSA<\/abbr> would like to welcome Inuvik, as this was their first year participating in the event.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The CSA<\/abbr> collaborated with the local chapters by providing mentors throughout the hackathon on site and via a collaborative platform. CSA<\/abbr> employees also provided workshops relating to the challenges, including the James Webb Space Telescope, the CSA<\/abbr>‘s open data portal, atmospheric methane, space situational awareness, and overall tips and tricks for submitting projects. This 48-hour\u00a0event was filled with learning, innovating, and opportunities for the participants to challenge themselves in new ways.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New this year, the CSA<\/abbr> offered a unique structure\u00a0\u2013 offering four challenges in two streams based on level of complexity: Stargazer (regular) and Moonwalker (advanced). This is the first time this was done in the challenge’s history. We hope to continue to encourage various participation levels including youth, by offering challenges with various levels of difficulty.<\/p>\n
