In 2018, Boeing teamed up once again with the Bristol University to organise a 24hr hour hackathon, this time themed around “Space”. Teams of up to 6 students, ranging from undergraduates to PhDs came up with innovative ideas including a hardware solution for visually tracking the ISS, museum-quality exhibitions describing the Martian atmosphere and cycle-safety monitoring systems using satellite communications.
