With great pride and honor....
A student team from the College of Information Technology wins first place in the "NASA Apps Challenge" competition.
A student team from the Department of Information Systems at the College of Information Technology won first place in the "NASA Apps Challenge" competition.
Desafío de Aplicaciones Espaciales de la NASA.
The student team YKPython consists of the two students Khaled Hassan Al-Tamimi and Youssef Moayed Hamdan. The winning project idea involved creating an educational computer game to teach school students about space and planets, where the learner must pass an exam to advance from one level to another in the game. The game was also integrated with artificial intelligence technologies. The teams that won first and second place (from the German University) will participate in the global competition in America this year.
The Challenge NASA Space Apps competition is a great opportunity to enhance entrepreneurship in the field of technology and space, as it allows participants to think of solutions to real problems and apply their practical skills in an interactive and innovative environment. This competition is also an important platform for discovering new talents and giving them the opportunity to shine on both local and global levels.
The theme of this year's 2024 competition focuses on the impact of the sun on Earth and the various data and challenges that follow, such as space weather and the effects of the sun on planets and near-Earth objects. The competition seeks to provide innovative solutions related to space exploration and Earth sciences through the use of open data available from NASA. The challenges also aim to utilize the open data provided by NASA to find innovative and feasible solutions, encouraging participants from various disciplines to explore space and Earth sciences and analyze data.
It is worth mentioning that the competition is the largest annual hackathon in the world, organized by NASA in collaboration with many international and local partners. Thousands of innovators, programmers, scientists, and students from around the world participate in this hackathon to solve challenges related to space and Earth sciences, using the open data provided by NASA. The local version of the competition was held at Yarmouk University, organized by NASA's student ambassador in Jordan, student Hassan Abu Saris from the Computer Engineering Department, and his team.
The Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology, Dr. Qassem Al-Radaideh, praised the participation of the college's students in this type of competitions and challenges and congratulated them on this achievement. The participation is considered a reinforcement of Yarmouk University's role in fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship and creativity among students and equipping them with problem-solving skills by proposing innovative projects to address the problems and challenges faced by humans, the environment, and the planet. Al-Radaideh called on companies to support and adopt such entrepreneurial projects.
