The International Space Apps Challenge is a two-day hackathon where teams of technologists, scientists, designers, artists, educators, entrepreneurs, developers and students across the globe collaborate and engage with publicly available data to design innovative solutions for global challenges. During the event, participants will organize into projects focused on solving a specific challenge for example in aeronautics, earth, Journey to mars or solar system, space station, and technology. Be part of the best collective intelligence experience, through our open innovation event.
This year Biomimicry Greece research and innovation center will be host the space apps challenge in Larisa Greece, and invite you all to become creative and active to find solutions for global challenges.
Any project including at least two participants (virtual or face to face) participation during our event make that project eligible for award.

If you can not come to Larisa face to face, event and you are in any other Greek city please join the global virtual link below

1st Prize

Winners local level

1st Prize

“Space Gravity Suit” winners names (Elena Veli, Vasilapostolos Ouranis, Stefanouli Vasiliki, Profitiliotis Georgios, Ntalis Georgios).

This project is solving the "Astrocize" challenge

The solution is an underwear suit which

exerts mechanical loads on the astronaut's body through the structural tension

of its fiber matrix. This suit behaves as a second skin for the astronaut and

helps him eliminate muscular and bone loss and at the same time prevents spine

elongation. To solve this challenge the team uses Biomimicry models and inspiration from Nature. In details the "exoskeleton of insects adjusts to strain and load by changing thickness, stiffness, and fiber orientation".
