This weekend, we were beyond thrilled to join NASA in their Space Apps Challenge, a day filled with NASA-inspired workshops and hackathons. Surrounded by a group of driven coders, hackers, and other tech-savvy individuals, we found tons of motivation to continue building and hacking to improve our community. We were thrilled to watch as plenty of incredibly innovative minds came together to work on the sole purpose of building the future.
Congrats to all who won special awards and thank you for joining us for an inspiring weekend! See the best tweets of the event below:
