On the Friday 20th and Saturday 21st May the Science and Technology Facilities Council based at Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire will host the UK edition of #ActInSpace, an international hackathon held simultaneously in 27 European cities.

During the hackathon the participants will come up with innovative, new ways to use space technology in non-space applications.

The winner will go to a national finals at the University of Greenwich and the national winner will go to the Toulouse Space Show in France to compete against other #ActInSpace winners. The prize for the winner is a zero gravity flight in the training aircraft for Novespace astronauts!

There are plenty of other prizes too. Airbus Defence and Space are offering a €100,000 voucher for satellite imagery and a chance to meet an astronaut whilst closer to home there are local prizes such as free business support and mentoring.
