Space Quizzes
National Space Quiz
A nationwide competition testing students' knowledge on astronomy, space missions, astrophysics, and space history across junior, senior, and open categories.
Space Technology & Exploration Hackathons
Intensive multi-day challenges where participants build software solutions, AI models, payload algorithms, or data visualization tools using open-source satellite and space data.
About the hackathons
A hackathon is an event where teams build a working solution to a problem in a short, fixed time. These multi-day hackathons focus on space technology and exploration, and on the large amount of satellite and space data that is openly available.
What teams build
- Software solutions for problems that space data can help solve.
- AI models that find patterns in satellite images or other space data.
- Payload algorithms: software that could run on board a satellite to process what its instruments record.
- Data visualisation tools that make complex space data easy to understand.
Who should take part
Programmers, data scientists, engineers, designers and anyone curious about space data. Mixed teams that combine different skills often do best.
