Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB Control Number: 2700-0153)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: International Space Apps Challenge Local Lead Survey

PURPOSE: Space Apps has grown significantly since its inception 10 years ago. In 2020, we had 251 Local Leads in 298 countries register for our hackathons. In order to plan for subsequent events, we would like to gather satisfaction data to ensure we retain this important part of the Space Apps community and continue growing the event.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Respondents will be the “Local Leads” of the Space Apps 2021 October 2-3 challenge. Local Leads act as hosts and organizers to Space Apps events in various cities worldwide. Leads engage participants, organize sponsorships, and ensure everyone enjoys their hackathon experience. All Local Leads will receive a copy of the survey.
