SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This collection of information supports NASA's International Space Apps Challenge, an international hackathon for coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, and others, where teams can engage with NASA's free and open data to address challenges we face on Earth and in space. This collection will consist of two applications, one for Navigators and one for Collaborators.
Navigators are Space Apps community members who have demonstrated excellence in the program or excellence in relevant fields including, but not limited to: science, data, technology, and space. By recognizing these exemplary community members as Navigators, the hackathon connects the tens of thousands of Space Apps participants with community expertise that can enhance participant problem solving. To be eligible to be a Navigator, applicants must have participated in Space Apps in some way ( e.g., participant or Local Lead) at least 5 times, or demonstrated equivalent relevant experience in another NASA program.
Each year organizations around the world come forth to engage with NASA's International Space Apps Challenge. We collaborate with a selection of these organizations, called Space Apps Collaborators, to:
- Increase awareness of NASA's International Space Apps Challenge
- Attract a diversity of participants to NASA's International Space Apps Challenge
- Provide participants with optional tools and resources that enable the creation of solutions in NASA's International Space Apps Challenge
This information will be used by the Space Apps Global Organizing Team during the Navigator and Collaborator selection process (approx. 3 months), to gain insight into the applicants' background, experience, and interest in the program. Additionally, this information will be used by NASA's Office of General Counsel (OGC) and NASA's Office of International and Interagency Relations (OIIR) in their review of applicants.
