Image Description - The top of the image shows a large group of former NASA Space Apps Challenge participants during a previous hackathon. "Join a Local Event" in yellow text on a dark blue background is displayed directly below the photo of the participants. A quote from a former NASA Space Apps Local Lead, displayed below the yellow text, reads "With encouragement and guidance, every student participated actively and grew more confident. Several students shared how proud they were to have stepped out of their comfort zones and how much they learned by working with new teammates. Our event brings people together to discover that innovation begins with the courage to take the first step.” The Space Apps logo is at the bottom center.

RT @CONAE_Oficial: SUMATE AL DESAFÍO DE CONAE EN NASA SPACE APPS CHALLENGE 2026: ¿Cómo podemos aprovechar los datos de distintos satélites para comprender mejor la actividad de incendios? La CONAE participa como agencia espacial asociada al NASA Space Apps Challenge 2026, la competencia internacional organizada por la NASA, y presenta un desafío para desarrollar soluciones de monitoreo de incendios a partir de información satelital. La propuesta consiste en integrar registros de focos de calor detectados por los sensores MODIS y VIIRS, cuyos datos no pueden compararse directamente debido a sus diferencias técnicas. El objetivo es desarrollar una aplicación web que permita analizar la actividad de incendios a lo largo del tiempo, identificar los períodos con más focos de calor y comparar los registros recientes con los históricos. Esta información podría contribuir a orientar el monitoreo y mejorar la respuesta ante incendios. Los equipos podrán trabajar con datos abiertos de la NASA y herramientas de CONAE, combinando conocimientos de programación, diseño, análisis de datos y observación de la Tierra. El NASA Space Apps Challenge se realizará el 14 y 15 de noviembre. La participación es gratuita y está abierta a personas a partir de los 13 años, con acompañamiento de un tutor para menores de edad. Conocé todos los detalles del desafío y cómo participar en la nota de nuestra web. 👇
