In honor of Terra’s recent 25th birthday, we decided to host a Terra Animation Celebration during this year’s 2025 Space Apps Challenge….
and we’re inviting YOU to join us!
Check out the following animated 😅 video for more information about NASA’s 2025 Space Apps Challenge event!
Do you have some spare time this weekend (October 4 – 5, 2025*) and want to collaborate with a group to craft unique Terra animations together? Register and find a Space Apps team now using the Space Apps Connect GitHub forum (also an excellent resource during the event!) — there’s even a virtual registration option!
During the event, a team of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will be monitoring the GitHub forum above and answering any questions participants may have during the event. (Remember to add the Terra Animation Challenge tag to your discussion post!)
Our landing page on the NASA Space Apps website has a detailed list of resources your team can use during the event. Below, we’ve also included a Google Slideshow with examples of potential animated products created from each of Terra’s five instruments.
We hope you can join us this weekend! Good luck to all, and have fun!
*Teams should begin working on their project on Saturday, October 4. Project submission opens on Saturday, October 4 at 9:00 AM and closes on Sunday, October 5 at 11:59 PM in accordance with the time zone of your team’s Local Event.
