On the Ground in Toronto
For the third year in a row, Phuse is organizing NASA’s Space Apps in Toronto. James will be on the ground floor the weekend of the event, April 10th to 12th, and at the Youth program on April 11th.
If you want to learn more about the Space Apps Toronto Hackathon or Youth program, all the details are located at SpaceAppsToronto.com, or you can follow @spaceappsto on Twitter.
Women in Data
The Challenges themselves, the questions that the attending teams of designers, developers, entrepreneurs, and makers will be addressing, are centered around themes of Earth, Space, Humans, and Robotics. These will be announced in late March.
This year NASA is placing an emphasis on Women in Data by kicking off the weekend with a one-day data bootcamp, an inspiring initiative which will be live-streamed to other events and participants around the world.
We’ll be tuning in. Will you?
