GLOBAL HACKATHON • NOVEMBER 14, 2026
Coming Soon — In Preparation
NASA Space Apps Challenge is one of the world's largest annual global hackathons. Using open data published by NASA and other space agencies, local venues around the world take on a shared set of challenges on the same dates.
Engineers, designers, scientists, students, and planners — regardless of technical background — team up to turn ideas and prototypes into reality over the event days.
The Sapporo local event is being prepared by the Sign community. The 2026 event aligns with the global schedule on November 14.
