Is the registration individual or by team?
Participants register as individuals, not as teams. You can start to form project teams before the event, or teams may form or add additional members on the first day of the Space Apps event. Regardless of when teams form, participants are not permitted to start working on their solutions until the Space Apps event begins.
Do I have to know English?
Yes, the working language is English, and if your project wins, it will be considered for the Global Awards.
