An app created by a local team has won a global award in the 2014 NASA International Space Apps Challenge.

Yorbit—which lets users search, share and personalize NASA satellite photos—took the top spot in the Most Inspiring category. The project was built during a recent Space App Challenge event held at Kansas City’s Ingenology.

“This award recognizes what we already know—we have fantastic, world-class digital design and technical talent right here in Kansas City,” said Michael Wilson, president of Ingenology. “We’re excited to see that talented honored and tell the story of Yorbit on a global scale.”

A second entry from Kansas City—the NERO Project—was a finalist in the Galactic Impact category.

More than 8,000 people around the world competed in this year’s challenge.
