BRISBANE INTERNATIONAL SPACE APPS 2015!!
It is with privilege that we invite you to be apart of the NASA International Space Apps Challenge to be hosted at the Microsoft Innovation Centre on the 11th and 12th of April 2015. The Brisbane regional round of the International Competition will attract talent from a multiplicity of disciplines, including science, engineering, technology, mathematics, health, law, business, education and creative industries. By virtue of invigorating innovation in the NASA challenge, the weekend long event will embrace keynote speakers, mentors, demonstrations, interactive workshops, and networking.
Registrations are now open: https://2015.spaceappschallenge.org/register/brisbane/
NASA educates and empowers students to acquire knowledge and skills in the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, by way of thinking boldly, taking initiative and acting globally. It would be an honour to support all those interested in participating in fulfilling their personal, academic and career aspirations as a part in challenges at the NASA International Space Apps Challenge.
The NASA spaceapps challenge demands collaborative problem solving on a global scale with a goal of producing relevant open-source solutions to address needs applicable to both life on Earth and life in space.
This year, participants will collaboratively develop solutions for challenges that support NASA’s mission directorates in four themes: Earth, Outer space, Humans and Robotics.
We are excited to be hosting this event at the Microsoft Innovation Centre as it offers great spaces for innovative solutions to germinate. A multidisciplinary approach to effectuating the projects will be most advantageous for the development of extraordinary designs.
We will be facilitating the formation of elite trans-disciplinary teams who will have the potential to collaborate with groups on aerospace projects virtually, on a national or international level.
As the official hosts of the NASA event in Brisbane, we are dedicated to the delivery of an event of high distinction at the Queensland Microsoft Innovation Centre.

The challenges and you
NASA space apps will release 25 challenges on March the 11th and can be accessed in the tab above. Once these challenges are released we ask you to familiarise yourself with them and determine with which your skill set and interest will benefit.
If you are certain which you want to do a project before the space apps weekend, organise a team and set up your project and get everyone in your team to join.
There will be awesome prizes on the day so consider impact, sustainability, creativity, relevance, and of course your final presentation.

LAUNCH READY
Project Members from this locationThis project aims to enable users to learn about the entire NASA mission process from the initial planning stages to launch. "LAUNCH READY" is an offline C# Game that utilises data from Case studies on previous NASA missions to make game-play as realistic as possible. "LAUNCH READY" consists o... Visit Project

M3DiBOX
Project Members from this locationWe have redesigned the existing medical kit by replacing the existing neck brace with a repurposed box that can perform the same task by acting as a splint for a neck, arm or leg injury. We have also designed a lightweight, compact, modular "Swiss Army knife" for small medical devices. A large... Visit Project
