This is an opportunity to connect with people from different backgrounds and talents to solve one of the challenges provided by NASA.

In addition, this is a chance to:

1. Raise your idea to NASA (and, if necessary, to partners);

2. Visit NASA and watch a rocket launch;

3. Win 2000 EUR money prize;

4. Gain special awards from partners and sponsors.
