OWASP Bhopal Chapter

NASA Space Apps CyberSec Challenge 2025 – Bhopal Edition
The NASA Space Apps Challenge is the world’s largest annual global hackathon, bringing together tens of thousands of innovators across 160+ countries to address real challenges faced by Earth and space exploration.
In 2025, the excitement arrives in Bhopal for a one-day, high-impact hackathon hosted by NASA Space Apps and organized locally by OWASP Bhopal.
On October, 4 October 2025, participants will gather at LNCT Group of Colleges—and online from around the world—for an intensive day of creativity, coding, and collaboration. Using NASA’s open data and partner-agency resources, individuals and teams will build innovative solutions to global problems ranging from climate change and natural disasters to deep-space science and human health.
The Bhopal edition embodies this year’s global theme: “Learn • Launch • Lead.”
Learn: Explore NASA’s vast public datasets, new technologies, and expert guidance.
Launch: Transform bold ideas into working prototypes, data visualizations, or artistic interpretations.
Lead: Present solutions that can inspire real-world change and compete for international recognition.
Open to students, professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, and creatives of every background, the challenge encourages interdisciplinary teams of up to six members or passionate solo participants. Judges drawn from industry, academia, and the local tech ecosystem will evaluate projects on innovation, technical implementation, relevance, and potential impact. Top teams from Bhopal will be nominated to the global judging round, where NASA and partner-agency experts select the worldwide finalists and winners.
Participation is free, but registration on the official NASA Space Apps website is required to compete and be eligible for global awards.
