Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Helsinki NASA Europa Challenge 2017

[Suchith Anand]

Fully agree Patrick.  This is also a great opportunity for students to learn 
the importance of sharing their knowledge for the benefit of the wider humanity 
. This is  key part of values based education.

Education is not getting some degrees or qualifications alone. I have met some 
people with so many advanced qualifications but are focussed on their personal 
advancement alone. I also have met lots and lots of people (some of them even 
had no formal education)  who have inspired me with their spirit of sharing and 
selflessly working for the benefit of others.

This NASA Europa Challenge is a great example for Openness in Science and 
Education
http://opensourcegeospatial.icaci.org/2016/07/sharing-is-caring-why-openness-is-key-for-true-empowerment-and-sustainability/

Thanks to you, Maria and all the mentors  of this great challenge for students 
who have worked on this over the years. This will provide ideas for others to 
work for Openness in Science and Education .

Best wishes,

Suchith

Suchith,

There is nothing more beautiful than inspiring and challenging our youth to 
deliver solutions that serve their local community, with an eye to be shared 
with the global community.

This has been the Europa Challenge mantra born of a week-long intensive course 
Prof Maria Brovelli put together in 2012 at Politecnico di Milan at Como. We 
gathered to discover a formula to engender applied open source solutions. 
Challenging our youth to build these open source solutions became the key 
element.

The methodology being the old ‘standing-on-the-shoulders-of-giants’ trick. 
OSGeo/FOSS4G are the giants we stand on!

The NASA World Wind Europa Challenge 2017 is off to a roaring start!
http://nasaeuropachallenge.com/


The top six (6) teams will be invited, all expenses paid, travel and lodging 
for five days, that include the final three days to ^show your stuff^ 29-30-31 
August.

This is in addition to the NASA Crystal Bull award, resume gold and some really 
cool cash. Not to mention cozy long-sleeve NASA shirts and NASA certificates 
just for qualifying.

Our world very quickly needs to find a way for us to begin working 
harmoniously, advancing each other's interest while serving our own. It will 
help if we are oriented to one platform for building 'smart city' urban 
management solutions, ESA-NASA WebWorldWind [1].

ESA & NASA are jointly advancing WebWorldWind, the latest version of the NASA 
World Wind family, and the world's oldest virtual globe platform, open source 
since inception in 2002. Let's rock the world 'for the benefit of all' by 
sharing our solutions!

Your CitySmart web app, based on the ESA-NASA WebWorldWind virtual globe SDK, 
needs to be ready for the first round of judging 7 August. This gives you ten 
weeks to make something good happen. There are plenty of examples, all open 
source, from previous years [2] along with some NASA World Wind Research 
projects, all open source [3].

By 7 August you simply need a webpage that describes your web app, a 
three-minute video of your web app in action, and your open source code 
accessible, i.e., via github or other. The judges, an international panel of 
GIS experts, will decide which six teams get the all-expense paid trip, and you 
will get ^the news^ 5 days later. And then on August 29 the finals begin with 
YOU there in Helsinki!

Are you ready for Helsinki? Helsinki is ready for you!
One of the most livable cities in the world! [4]
