The Future of Space and AI @ Google HQ
Join us for a special kickoff event leading up to the NASA Space Apps Hackathon at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View on Oct. 4–5.
We’ll explore how AI is reshaping the future of space and life on Earth — from NASA’s Perseverance rover navigating Mars autonomously, to AI-powered discoveries of new exoplanets, and satellites tracking climate change in real time.
This kickoff sets the stage for the hackathon, where innovators worldwide will come together to use NASA’s open data to solve real-world challenges.
