Got a great app idea? NASA want to know about it

The NASA Space Apps Challenge is returning to York this week, bringing together enthusiastic amateurs with professional developers to build apps to combat global environmental challenges.

The two-day event is held at the University of York on April 29th and 30th, with scientists, coders, developers, engineers and designers getting involved. Participants can take on any challenge within five topics; The Earth and Us, Planetary Blues, Warning! Danger Ahead!, Our Ecological Neighborhood and Ideate & Create! 

Tech enthusiasts of all ages will then have to collaborate to create a solution to their chosen challenge, and can meet at the University of York or work remotely on their team's project. Each group can choose to create a traditional app for website or mobile, a concept or a hardware prototype. 

At the end of the second day each team will have to present their creation to a jury of professionals and academics, who will then decide on a local winner to progress to the global level of the competition. Organisers hope that anyone who has an interest in app development signs up to the event.

Transcendit are proud sponsors of this year's Space Apps Challenge. Director Adam Kuznesof says, 'When competitions like the Space Apps Challenge choose the North East to host their events, it's really important that businesses show their support.'

'Sponsoring the Space Apps Challenge this year is a great way we can invest in the North East, and encourage local coders and programmers of all ages to hone their skills. We're really pleased that we can be a part of the competition this year, and wish everyone taking on the challenge the best of luck.'

The Transcendit Way

Transcendit understand that when you choose to work with us, whether we're taking care of your IT, app or web development, you're trusting us with part of your business. So whether we're looking after your computers, phone systems or servers we always do things 'the Transcendit way'.

The whole of our team adhere to the same values, beliefs and policies - the principles that were written when Transcendit first formed in 2000. Whether you come to us for cloud services or recovery backup you can be confident that you'll always receive the same excellent service.

The Transcendit way outlines how we do business; following the same straightforward principles with every client and customer, regardless of how big or small they may be.

That means we get to know you and your business. We offer you a friendly, professional and efficient service, and we'll always be honest with you.
We understand that not everybody speaks fluent IT, so we try to explain things in a way that is simple and clear. We always spend as much time as is necessary explaining things to you.
If you need to talk to us about something, no matter how insignificant, we are only ever a phone call away – and we’re never too busy to make you a cup of tea and have a sit down with you in person.
We understand how frustrating it can be when things are late. When we schedule an appointment with you, we are there when you’re expecting us. If something prevents us from getting there, we always call you in advance to let you know.
Sometimes things can go wrong, but we never lie to you or try to cover something up. If things go askew we tell you what’s happened and how we plan to prevent it affecting your business.
We want you to continuously benefit from working with us. We regularly discuss your business and make suggestions for improving systems and processes wherever we can – but we never try to push you into a purchase.
When we quote a fixed price, that's always the amount we charge – you won’t find any nasty surprises on a bill from us. If you are paying by time and materials, we inform you if our approximations could change.
We understand the importance of privacy for your business and your customers. We respect the confidentiality of your data, and we will never pass on your information to third parties.
We appreciate it when you take the time to give us feedback. A system called CustomerSure records our client's responses, so you can trust that our reviews are from real people.
