Space Hackathon
Hey everyone! If you are interested in joining the hackathon:
Do you want to participate in the first Kapteyn Space Hackathon on *October 22-24*? Teams of
FSE and FSS bachelor and master students will work on ideas for the myEUspace competition
(https://www.euspa.europa.eu/myeuspacecompetition) with the help of experienced mentors.
The competition aims to find new, exciting and disruptive uses for space data in areas such as
day-to-day life, combating climate change and urban planning. *No experience with
programming is required!*
The event is taking place at the Kapteyn Institute and is organised with the help of Sirius A and
FMF, the study associations for Astronomy, and Physics and Mathematics. You can sign up
here (https://forms.gle/29q548Qr2XCTb9586) for Friday evening and Saturday, or the full
weekend. You can contact us at hackathon2021@astro.rug.nl if you have any questions. We
hope to see you there!
