Register on
the official site

Step 1 / 5

Every team member creates an account

Go to the NASA Space Apps website, click Sign Up at the top right, and fill in Full Name, Username and Email in the CREATE ACCOUNT window.

Each team member opens their own account — not one account for the whole team.

Step 2 / 5

Sign up for the Haifa event

Every team member signs up for NASA Space Apps Haifa 2026 (at the Technion) on the local event page, with the Sign Up For This Local Event button.

Important: only people registered for the same Local Event can join the same team. Do this before creating or joining a team.

Step 3 / 5

One of you creates the team

One team member creates the Team: on the event page, open the Teams tab and click Create a Team. That person becomes the Team Owner.

Team Owner is an admin role on the site, not necessarily your team lead. They approve join requests and can update the team's details and Challenge.

Step 4 / 5

Everyone else joins the team

1. Search for the team name on the site.
2. Click Request to Join Team.
3. The Team Owner approves the request (Approve Join Request).

You can get there through Find a Team, the Challenges page, or the Teams tab on the event page. Everyone on a team must be registered for the same Local Event.

Step 5 / 5

Choose a Challenge

Make sure your team is assigned to the Challenge you want to work on. The Team Owner sets it, from the team page or from the Challenges page.

Every Challenge page has a Join the Challenge button.

Before you finish

Check that everything is in place

Open your team page. In the Team Information box you should see the Local Event and the Challenge.
