TRU Future Engineers Initiative is thrilled to host the prestigious NASA International Space Apps Challenge for the very first time, and we want you to be a part of it!

Mark your calendars for October 4th and 5th, 2025, for an out-of-this-world 48-hour hackathon right here on campus. This is your chance to collaborate with fellow innovators, tech enthusiasts, and space lovers to tackle real-world challenges using open data from NASA and its Space Agency Partners.

No prior space experience is necessary! Challenges are designed in different difficulty levels.

Fuel your innovation with free food throughout the weekend, and compete for prizes exclusively for our local Kamloops winners. But that's not all! The most outstanding projects will also have the incredible opportunity to be nominated for global recognition and awards.

Global Awards Categories: Science, Tech, Story Telling, Inspirational, Art, Local Impact, Galactic Impact, Global Connection, Mission Concept, Use of Data
