NASA has announced over 50 challenges that participants in cities around the world can take part in for the 2013 International Space Apps Challenge.
The event, which runs worldwide from April 20-21, is focused on collaborative problem solving, with the goal being to "produce relevant open-source solutions to address global needs applicable to both life on Earth and life in space."
