A user can draw constellations and travel to real-life exoplanets to see how the stars — and their constellations — change with perspective. The goal is to provide a tool that sparks interest in space exploration and exoplanets!

Team Shoebills in Space consisted of (from left to right) Max Maeder, Rahul Hathwar, Brennen Hill, and Jeremy Kintana.

In their project, they developed an interactive 3D starfield based on 5500 exoplanets and half a million stars from NASA and ESA databases.

a tiny convolutional neural network and the expensive transmission only when it looked like a seismic event was about to happen. This hardware-software combination allowed us to stay size and power efficient while still achieving up to 85% accuracy, and the process of developing

On Earth, this is a standard case of large-scale machine learning, but on the Moon or on Mars, we had to think about the challenges of limited power, communication, and data. In our project, FSTARs, we used highly efficient hardware-level signal processing on an FPGA to trigger

Team stan5370 consisted of Benjamin Ye (pictured), Colin Schilf (pictured), Joshua Karpel, and Shannon Tan.

"Our challenge was to develop a way to recognize planetary seismic activity in space.

in the face of climate change. We're excited to see how teams like Cuberts are using NASA's data to make an impact and foster innovation in agriculture!

[NASA Space Apps Chicago @ChicagoSpaceApp]

Kritika Singh, Jainam Rajput, Jinang Gandhi, Shraddhaa Mohan, Jugal Upadhyay, and Sai Krishna Rohith K worked together to create a solution that empowers farmers with real-time data on groundwater, runoff, temperature, and water levels, helping them make more informed decisions

[NASA Space Apps Chicago @ChicagoSpaceApp]

Out of 34 innovative teams, Cuberts stood out with their project "Canopy", a farmer-centric website that harnesses NASA Earth observation data to provide actionable insights for smarter, more sustainable farming practices.
