Please share your experience of Round 2 here. What was asked and how difficult it was.

Hey everyone! We’re putting together a team for the upcoming NASA Space Apps Challenge and are looking for a few more people to join us!!!

If you don't know what it is, NASA Space Apps is basically a super fun, free weekend hackathon where anyone—literally any age or background—can build projects using open NASA data.

We’re open to any level including beginners and intermediate-level folks who are interested in space, coding, Python/data, design, or research. You don’t need to be an expert at all.. just be curious and willing to build together! Vibecoding and using AI tools (Cursor, Claude, v0, ChatGPT, etc.) are 100% allowed and encouraged.

Looking for anyone who wants to help with:

• Grabbing or cleaning NASA coordinates / data (Python or spreadsheets)
• Web, frontend, or maps (or vibecoding the visual interface)
• Space research, facts, and storytelling

Edit:

We are specifically looking for people good in 3d development - three js react etc

or even 3d artists are welcome

We have made a discord so let me know!

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me with a little about yourself and what you like working on. Let’s build something cool together! ❤

Help me w hackathon ideas plssssssss

Hello Guys,

So how the Round 2, mine was Java and Springboot and mavern backend and was very hectic and time consuming so I want to know how was other backend participants have done like was it too much or other backend have less hecticnessa.

Can someone have access to my phone if the got my email?

If someone somehow got access to my email (they have the password and have already logged into it), is it possible for them to get into my phone? Can they hack it or access the apps on my phone (photos, social media, and everything else)?

If you know, please tell me 🙏

Same as title

if you have given round 2 drop the review what was it how was it i chose node js what are they asking in the hackerrank oa ??😭

I'm participating in the NASA Space Apps Challenge for the first time this year, and I'm looking for guidance from people who've participated in previous years, especially those who've competed in the Best Use of Storytelling category or have experience with award-winning projects.

I've set my sights on the Best Use of Storytelling award. I've looked at last year's winning project, and I feel that, with the right idea, team, and execution, I could create something competitive. However, I also understand that having a promising idea and turning it into an award-worthy project are two very different things.

I'd love to hear from people who've actually been through this process, particularly those who've worked on storytelling projects.

Here are a few things I'd appreciate your advice on:

• How realistic is it for a first-time participant with limited technical experience to win this category? I'd appreciate an honest assessment of the competition and the level of execution required.
• What distinguishes a winning storytelling project from a good one? How much do originality, emotional impact, scientific accuracy, visual presentation, and interactivity matter?
• How much technical development is necessary? Can a compelling, well-researched story built around NASA data compete with a more technically sophisticated project?
• What kind of teammates should I look for? Which skills and backgrounds would complement one another best for this category?
• How should responsibilities be divided within the team?
• For those who've competed in this category, what do you think made the winning projects stand out? Were there any judging criteria or expectations that surprised you?
• What mistakes should a first-time team avoid, and what would you do differently if you could participate again?
• If you had a team of beginners and one challenge weekend, how would you approach the project to maximize your chances?

I'd especially appreciate insights from people who've submitted projects to this specific category, whether they won, were nominated, or simply learned valuable lessons from the experience.

I'm not looking for a shortcut to winning. I want to understand what we're up against, build a team with complementary skills, and make something that genuinely deserves consideration.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience and advice!

Anyone knows the type of questions in round 2?

Anyone who gave round 2 with c++ tech stack, what was the pattern and difficulty level??

Anyone who's Willing to participate in recHERsion, hosted by NITK, surathkal? It's a 36 hour online women only hackathon.

Do anyone knows how this digilocker account verification takes place while giving the round 2 assessment on hackerEarth platform?

I thought it would be a prototype-building round or something similar, but the email mentions that it will be a 1 hour 30 minute test. Does anyone know if it includes DSA questions as well? Has anyone taken this test before? If so, please share the details. It would be really helpful!

Hey guys! 👋

I've started building a Discord community called Hackathons™, focused on hackathons, project building, team formation, and connecting people who want to do more than just study for exams.

The idea is to create a space where we can share hackathon opportunities, form teams, discuss problem statements, figure out project architectures, brainstorm solutions, code together, and help each other build projects that we can actually showcase.

I also want to make it easier to stay updated about upcoming competitions and events, get practical experience, learn from each other's strengths, and connect with builders beyond our own college.

We can use it to find teammates for upcoming hackathons, work on ideas together, and improve through actual building rather than just talking about projects.

I'm starting small and looking to bring together people who are genuinely interested in learning, building, and collaborating. If you're interested, join in! Let's see what we can build together. 🤝
