[Johannes Holvitie]

Welcome to the World Challenge Finland 2018

This summer United Nations and European Space Agency are hosting the 
World Challenge competition 2018 in Finland.

Design and build a web app using Web WorldWind with your data or any 
open data available from ESA, NASA or any other government agency. The 
challenge is to build a web app that will improve life here on Earth! 
Specific areas of focus are Health, Education, Circular Economy, 
Sustainability and Conflict Prevention. More information at 
www.worldchallenge.live. Incorporate satellite data or Unmanned Aerial 
Systems data to map buildings, terrain, vegetation analyses, city 
utilities, road status, and more. Use the data resources provided at the 
WorldChallenge website, or any spatial data that will allow your web app 
to provide a new solution or an improved solution to an ‘old’ problem.

You have from now until 3 rd of August to submit your project. The top 
teams from all over the world will have expenses paid to visit the city 
of Espoo, Finland for the finals, 27 th to 30 th of August. There will 
be grand prizes and a chance to work with ESA, NASA and UN personnel.

design gets a sponsored launch for their project at the ISS. Further 
information on this challenge will be announced soon. For more info and

send your application, the sooner our world class GIS team can review 
your project design and evaluate if it is challenging enough to participate!
