Hello NASA Space Apps community,

We are excited to announce this year’s theme, “The Sun Touches Everything,” in collaboration with NASA Heliophysics’ celebration of the Helio Big Year! This year’s theme illuminates the expansive reach of the Sun and its influence on every aspect of our environment. We celebrate the Sun’s interconnectedness and how its presence reaches every community around the globe, mirroring the reach of the global NASA Space Apps community.

NASA’s Heliophysics Division studies the nature of the Sun and its influence on Earth and space. The Sun is the primary source of energy for Earth, influencing climate, weather, and ecosystems, which are also challenges NASA Space Apps Challenge participants address. NASA Heliophysics has invited the world to celebrate “Helio Big Year” (Oct. 2023 - Dec. 2024), making heliophysics science and information accessible to all and celebrating the Sun’s influence on Earth and the entire solar system through events and citizen science opportunities.
