“I believe it is paramount to give the next generation of scientists, engineers, designers, and more from across the world a chance to contribute to NASA’s overall mission. The NASA Space Apps Challenge provides this opportunity by giving people – from all backgrounds and walks of life – a way to engage directly with NASA scientists and open data.” — Dr. Nicky Fox, Associate Administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate
