Testimonials
"My Space Apps experience was very fun and engaging. I wouldn't have created the project that I did without this prompt. I was challenged and enticed to learn more and improve my game little by little."
"Fulfilling and exciting"
"I enjoyed the Space Apps challenge a lot this year. Although we only had two days (and that alone makes it more exciting!), my team enjoyed putting together our project with our strong areas and hobbies. I enjoyed putting together our efforts into one big creation that we knew could help the world, all while having fun and learning new things!"
