Since 2015, Space Apps Ottawa has been the local face of the world's largest space hackathon — a volunteer-run event that brings developers, designers, engineers, and the technically curious together for one weekend a year to build something real.
Our parent association is the Canadian Space Society, a registered not-for-profit and charity. Everything else — the challenges, the mentors, the logistics — is run almost entirely by the people who show up to build alongside you.
A large team of organizers and volunteers, from all walks of life, make each year's event happen. Below are just a few of them. Interested in helping out? Email us.
