DESCRIPTION:The NASA Space Apps Challenge is the world’s largest annual g
 lobal hackathon\, bringing together coders\, scientists\, designers\, stor
 ytellers\, makers\, technologists\, and innovators from around the globe. 
 This year\, Yarmouk University in Irbid\, Jordan\, is proud to host this p
 restigious event on October 5-6\, 2024.\n\nYarmouk University successfully
  concluded the activities of the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2024\, held und
 er the theme “Scientific Innovations in Space and Earth.” The event wa
 s fully organized and led by the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Soc
 iety (AESS) Student Branch at Yarmouk University\, reflecting the society
 ’s commitment to advancing aerospace and electronic systems education am
 ong students.\n\nHosted by the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology 
 at the ZINC Hall in the Prince Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II Building\, the e
 vent was attended by the Dean\, Dr. Mohammad Al-Zubaidi\, and brought toge
 ther students from various Jordanian universities to collaborate on solvin
 g real-world scientific challenges using NASA’s open data.\n\nThis initi
 ative directly aligned with IEEE AESS core objectives\, including promotin
 g knowledge in aerospace\, space systems\, and advanced technologies\, enh
 ancing students’ technical and problem-solving skills\, and building a s
 trong\, collaborative engineering community. Through this challenge\, part
 icipants explored topics such as data analysis\, artificial intelligence\,
  and space-related applications\, translating theoretical knowledge into p
 ractical solutions.\n\nDr. Al-Zubaidi emphasized the importance of such st
 udent-led initiatives in strengthening innovation and positioning Jordan w
 ithin the global scientific and technological landscape. He praised the pa
 rticipants’ creativity and highlighted the role of the competition in di
 scovering emerging talent and encouraging critical thinking in addressing 
 global challenges.\n\nThe 2024 edition featured 20 diverse scientific and 
 technical challenges related to space and Earth sciences. Participants wor
 ked in teams under expert mentorship and presented their solutions to a ju
 dging panel at the conclusion of the event.\n\nThe results were as follows
 :\n\n- First Place: Team YKpython (Yarmouk University) – Khaled Al-Tamim
 i and Yousef Hamdan\n- Second Place: Team Visioneera (German Jordanian Uni
 versity) – Karmel Al-Qawasmeh\, Muhannad Khader\, Layan Darwish\, and Ly
 nn Qabbani\n- Third Place: Team Moon (Hijjawi Faculty\, Yarmouk University
 ) – Rania Al-Rubaie and Saba Bilal\n\nAt the closing ceremony\, awards a
 nd certificates were presented to the winning teams.\n\nIt is worth noting
  that the NASA Space Apps Challenge is the largest global hackathon\, brin
 ging together innovators\, programmers\, scientists\, and students worldwi
 de. At Yarmouk University\, the event was not a standalone competition\, b
 ut rather a strategic initiative implemented under the IEEE AESS framework
 \, aiming to expand awareness of aerospace systems and inspire students to
  engage in space-related innovation.\n\nThe success of this event highligh
 ts the growing impact of IEEE AESS Yarmouk University\, demonstrating how 
 student-led efforts can effectively deliver high-impact activities that su
 pport both technical excellence and community development in alignment wit
 h AESS’s global mission.\n\nThe event was organized by a dedicated stude
 nt team under AESS leadership\, including Hassan Abu Sarris and Ryan Al-Ai
 fan\, reflecting strong leadership\, teamwork\, and commitment to advancin
