NASA Space Apps 2026, Nov 14-15

We’re stoked to be back at the UK Met Office this year for the NASA SpaceApps hackathon on 14th – 15th November 2026

The weekend will be about meeting new people and solving interesting challenges together. Don’t let the ‘Apps’ part put you off, the best teams are often the most diverse teams in terms of age, skills and experience. We have seen great projects made entirely from cardboard!

“SpaceApps brings amazing people together to find our way to solving some of the world’s biggest problems. We’ve seen people make video games, space suits, mars habitats, phone apps, movies and even a song! I can’t wait to see what this year’s participants will come up with!” – Kris Sum (Event lead)

How the weekend works:

We’ll welcome you onto the Met Office campus from 9am on Saturday, and we’ll help you make teams and start work on the challenges. We’ll finish up in the evening (no sleeping on-site!), and be back on Sunday morning to help you finish your presentations, ready for our judging session in the afternoon!

We’ll provide tea and coffees, however you will need to bring your own food (packed lunches or off-site at the facilities up the road – Starbucks, Domino’s, Subway, Bewers Fayre – 5 mins walk). There is a small shop inside the venue, where you can pay for snacks and drinks.
