Event Information
About this event
NASA International Space Apps Challenge (ISAC) is the largest hackathon in the world. It is commissioned by NASA to get citizens to collaborate on its mission directives. NASA ISAC 2021 Boston will be entirely virtual this year and will take place on October 2nd 9am (ET)- October 3rd 4pm (ET).
About NASA ISAC
The International Space Apps Challenge is an international mass collaborative hackathon focused on space exploration that takes place over 48-hours in cities around the world. The event embraces collaborative problem solving with a goal of producing relevant open-source solutions to address global needs applicable to both life on Earth and life in space. NASA is leading this global collaboration along with a number of additional government collaborators and 100+ local partner organizations. Space Apps is a NASA incubator innovation program.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the interest of our global community’s health and safety, NASA and the Space Apps Global Organizing Team have made the difficult decision to make the 2021 hackathon an all-virtual event. Each local virtual event will be hosted by one of our Space Apps Local Leads -- event leaders who will help connect registrants from their local communities to each other and to NASA.
About ISAC Boston
2021 is the 8th time that NASA ISAC is held in Boston. This year everyone attend virtually. To participate, you can form your own teams among your friends. Please make sure that all of your team members register. The event provides opportunity for everyone to improve your coding skills, get involved in Boston’s hackathon community, cultivate team collaboration skills, and… to have a blast with your teammates!!
We are in an unprecedented situation this year with the event being fully remote. In order for you to remember this hackathon, we will provide a special ISAC Boston original memento for all participants who successfully submit a solution to the ISAC Boston event and have a shipping address in the conterminous United States. The team is hard at work designing this memento for you.

Collaborate to Innovate – Binnovative empowers entrepreneurship in Japan and USA by providing collaborative experiences
Binnovative’s project focuses on collaborations between communities across Japan and the innovation community in Massachusetts, taking advantage of the diversity in the Northeast United States. Japan has a very technology-centric and detail-oriented culture while Boston (US) has a very dynamic and free culture. Binnovative Boston recognizes that combining the resources of these two ecosystems fosters even greater innovation.
Collaborate to Innovate – Binnovative は、協創体験の提供を通じて、日本及びアメリカのアントレプレナーシップの向上を目指します。
Binnovativeのプロジェクトは、アメリカ東海岸における文化の多様性を生かしながら、イノベーションに積極的なボストンと日本のコミュニティのコラボレーションに焦点を当てています。日本には技術を磨き、細部を重視する文化がある一方で、ボストンには精力的で自由な文化があります。二つの土壌が組み合わさることで更に素晴らしいイノベーションの醸成ができるとBinnovativeは考えます。
