Qt by Digia which I have written about on several occasions has been named as a recommended development framework for the NASA International Space Apps Challenge.
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. Participants around the world, challenged to provide creative solutions, are recommended by theNASA International Space Apps Challenge’ organizing committee and the Tampere, Finland Spaceship Association event chapter to develop their mobile apps with Qt.
The NASA’s International Space Apps challenge is a crowdsourcing innovation program created to approach challenges with fresh eyes and new ideas. The event will be held on April 12th and 13th in nearly 100 locations around the world where participants will be able to choose from more than 40 challenges themed in five categories: Earth Watch, Human Space Flights, Robotics, Asteroids and Space Technology. NASA will provide relevant data and other resources to be used in creating solutions while participants will decide which challenge they want to work on, form teams and fully engage for two days. Virtual participants will also be able to join through an ‘on boarding session’ online where they will be able to find collaborators from local events or among other virtual participants. The best solutions will be selected for global awards and the winner will be given the opportunity to attend a NASA launch event.
Being associated with NASA is great news for Digia and will garner them a lot of attention.
