Join us for an inspiring weekend where science, art, data, and imagination converge! Mountain View is once again partnering with NASA Ames Research Center to host the NASA International Space Apps Challenge 2025, under the new theme: "Learn, Launch, Lead."
This year, we invite you to grow alongside a global network of scientists, technologists, and storytellers. Learn valuable skills to thrive in STEM fields, launch innovative ideas using NASA’s open data, and lead your community toward a brighter, tech-driven future.
