    NASA, IBM Team For Worldwide Space Apps Challenge Hackathon.

    IBM is joining NASA to offer participants access to a set of cloud services in its Bluemix Platform as a Service portfolio, says Sandy Carter, who is general manager for cloud ecosystem and developers at IBM.

    While participants are free to use any cloud platform they wish, IBM plans to sweeten the pot by offering access to some of its most elite experts on site in 26 cities.

    In another 36 cities, participants get access to virtual support online or by phone.

    In many ways, the contest is about taking advantage of sensors (the Internet of Things) and the data they produce. Participants will have access to 200 NASA data sources. The idea is to use analytics tools on Bluemix to provide them with tools to take advantage of this data.

    “A lot of people look at sensors, but the real value lies with data,” Carter said.

    Two projects from each city will advance to global judging. IBM will offer 30 awards for the most innovative use of Bluemix. NASA wants to use this event to incubate innovative ideas and IBM hopes to get developers interested in its Bluemix cloud development tools.
