Hackathon Challenge

Earthbound: The Alien Landing Challenge

 

Welcome, cadets!

As part of an alien crew visiting the Earth, your mission is to find the perfect landing spot for your mothership. Using Sentinel satellite data, you’ll have just 24 hours to solve this challenge. Race against time, compete with other teams, and turn raw data into the ideal landing zone. Can you take on the challenge and find the perfect spot for your crew?

Whether you’re into coding, design, science, or just love space, this challenge is for you. In just 24 hours, you’ll turn your idea into a solution, with help from expert mentors.

Ready to make the first contact with the Earth? Let’s make it happen!

Make sure to register by March 25, 2025.
