Space Apps Winnipeg takes off!
Space Apps Challenge Participants arrive at the University of Manitoba
The Winnipeg Space Apps Challenge commenced on Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 10am at the University of Manitoba where engineers, scientists, teachers, designers, and developers joined together to solve projects to benefit life in space and on Earth.
This is part of the largest hackathon in history with more than 8,500 participants working for 83 hours in 83 countries on all 7 continents. This is an excellent opportunity for UMSATS to help promote space exploration activities to the Winnipeg community.
The Winnipeg participants are working on 5 projects for the hardware, software, and citizen science categories.
With under 24 hrs remaining, the participants are hard and work in anticipation of the project judging tomorrow, April 21, 2013 at 3:30 pm.
