Japan joins the International Space Apps Challenge 2013 following last year from Tokyo. Our challenge is "To solve the worldwide problem from Japan". As perfect preparations for this event, we hold a study session of data, convene an ideathon, and elect teams by challenges. After a 2 days creation, the judges including the Japanese astronaut will choose solutions as the local prize winner. In 2012, we nominated two solutions for Global Judging, but couldn't bring a prize to Japan..., so this is the year of re-challenge. We gathered innovative and skillful challengers from IT and Startup companies, educational instituions and so on. Our mission is to win the global prize and "To solve the worldwide problem from Japan"!日本は、昨年の第一回に引き続き、東京から今年も参加します。提供データの勉強会／アイデアソンを経てアプリごとにチームを選出、ハッカソン当日には万全の体制で挑みます。 ハッカソンを経て開発されたアプリ達を、宇宙飛行士をはじめとした審査員が厳選。日本発の「世界規模の課題を解決しよう」という目的にふさわしい作品を選出します。 前回は２作品を本選に送り出しましたが、惜しくも入賞は果たせませんでした。今回は本選での入賞を目指して、プログラマをはじめデザイン／教育機関／各種業界などに所属する日本人の頭脳が、このイベントに集結します！
