Hi,I am atanu from kolkata,india.i wants to colaborate with you.i use matlab for last fewyears.i am electrical engineer in control system domain.
Hi Atanu,
Thank you so much for your response. Our requirement is someone who can help/mentor us in AI/ML with MATLAB for our Participants.
If you are interested Please reach out to us at : nasaspaceappvirudhunagar@gmail.com

Subha
Hi Subha!
We have an 'Awesome MATLAB Hackathons' repository on GitHub that has many resources for hackathon participants, including ML and MATLAB specific resources. You can also reach out to us at hackathon@mathworks.com with some basic information about the event and we can see if there are other ways we can help out.
Hi Woolson!
I just went through the GitHub repository – it’s truly awesome! Thank you so much for sharing the details. I’ll be sending the event details by email shortly.
Hi Subha. It would be helpful if you can share more info about the events, about you, and what you expect from mentors. That might help you get more mentors. The challenge sounds interesting. It would be great if you can share some results or fun projects when the challenge is done.
Hi Chen Lin,
Thank you so much for your interest and thoughtful suggestions. I’d be glad to share a quick overview.
About NASA Space Apps Challenge VNR
NASA Space Apps Challenge is the world’s largest annual global hackathon powered by NASA. It brings together students, technologists, designers, and innovators from across the world to solve real-world challenges using NASA’s open data.
The Virudhunagar (VNR) 2025 edition is hosted by us to inspire and empower young innovators from Tamil Nadu and across India. Participants—mainly undergraduate and postgraduate students in engineering, computer science, and design—will work on challenges in areas such as Earth observation, space technology, climate change, AI, and data science. Our goal is to nurture creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork while giving students exposure to global challenges and the chance to showcase their talent on an international stage.
About Me
I’m Subha Sankareswari V, organizer of NASA Space Apps Challenge Virudhunagar 2025. My mission is to help students become world-class artists, engineers, scientists, and tech professionals by making STEAM education enjoyable, exploratory, and hands-on. Through my initiative iDreams Creative Makers Space, I design STEAM-based learning experiences that blend creativity, design, and Indian heritage with modern science and technology.
What We Expect from Mentors
Mentors play a crucial role in guiding participants. For this year’s challenges, many teams will need to create a prototype or simulation. We would love mentors to support students especially in areas like:
- AI and MATLAB
- Machine Learning and MATLAB
- Simulation, modeling, and prototyping guidance
Your expertise and feedback can make a huge difference in helping students shape their raw ideas into impactful solutions.
I’ll also be happy to share outcomes and some of the fun projects once the challenge concludes.
Warm regards,
Subha
Hi Subha
I work at MathWorks and am interested in seeing how we could help. I found your email address at https://www.spaceappschallenge.org/2025/local-events/virudhunagar/ and will be in touch.
Cheers,
Mike
Hi Mike,
I just wanted to check in to see if you’d be interested in collaborating with us for the NASA Space Apps Challenge Virudhunagar 2025. Your mentoring support, especially in AI/ML with MATLAB, would be a huge help for our students. Would you be open to exploring this?
Regards,
Subha
Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for response—it’s wonderful to hear from you! We would be truly grateful to have mentoring support from MATHWORKS for the NASA Space Apps Challenge Virudhunagar 2025. Many of our students will be working on prototypes and simulations using AI/ML with MATLAB, and your guidance would make a huge difference for them.
Excited to explore how we can collaborate!
