CollabScience

CollabScience helps you find the science projects that matter to you, rather than spending all your time reviewing lists of open science projects you can now find a project to contribute to in minutes! What we innovated is a 'Swipe & Match' feature, where users can swipe through projects and, upon a match, connect with those that align with their expertise and interests.

CollabScience was developed for the 2023 NASA International Space Apps Challenge, a two day hackathon to come up with innovate ideas inspired by and using NASA data.
