Challenge #1: Immersive Gameplay with Space Tech

Imagine creating a game that doesn’t just entertain, but also engages players with the real world.

• You could design a game where players solve environmental challenges using live space data.
• Or build gameplay that evolves in real time through satellite updates.

How can space data make gameplay meaningful, not just fun?

Challenge #2: Space-Powered Performance in Sports

Sports connect people everywhere – but what if they could also drive positive change?

Mapping the Future of Sports in Public Spaces

Using Earth Observation and geospatial data, participants are challenged to identify and map existing sports fields (such as soccer pitches) around the world.

These insights can then be combined with mobility and population data to answer key questions:

• Where are people already engaging in sports outdoors?
• Which neighborhoods or regions show high demand but lack sports infrastructure?

The goal is to use space data to discover new opportunities and locations for public sports areas. Empowering communities, cities, and organiaations to make data-driven, inclusive decisions.

The challenge:

Build an intelligent system or dashboard that uses available satellite and geospatial data to:

• Automatically detect existing sports facilities,
• Assess their accessibility and usage potential, and
• Suggest new, suitable locations for future sports fields or community spaces.

Other ideas you could explore and find solutions for:

• You might explore how GNSS can improve athlete safety and performance.
• Or design training tools that are inclusive, adaptable, and sustainable.
