Welcome to SpaceHACK for Sustainability
The SpaceHACK for Sustainability Hackathon is a unique opportunity to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges using cutting-edge satellite technology. Guided by the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—a blueprint to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030—SpaceHACK brings together students, faculty, and experts to innovate for a better future.
This exciting two-day event empowers participants to explore how satellite data can drive meaningful solutions to global issues. Using tools like Planet Labs satellite data and Google Earth Engine, participants will form small teams and dive into one of three thematic tracks: Effects of Pandemic on Mental Health, Urban Agriculture and Food Security, or ________. Each team will create a five-minute presentation showcasing their innovative ideas and actionable solutions, which will be evaluated by a panel of esteemed judges.
With workshops, mentorship opportunities, and prizes for the most impactful projects, SpaceHACK is more than just a competition—it’s a platform to connect with peers, learn new skills, and make a difference.
Join us and be part of the movement to address the SDGs through data-driven innovation. Together, we can leverage satellite data to build a more sustainable and equitable world.

Arizona has a robust infrastructure for moving water throughout the region - with the majority of water used in the largest cities, including Phoenix, coming from outside the region. However, the biggest use of this complex water import system is used to maintain agricultural land in the region. As water becomes more scarce, we must evaluate mitigation and sustainment strategies for water usage.
Leveraging Earth Observation data, can we help inform these strategies while also understanding the impacts and implications of retiring and changing centuries-old agricultural land?
