We were inspired to choose this challenge after the Fairmont incident and George Floyd incident as well. We thought that this society lacks equality and equity between races and genders, and this needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Our approach was to tackle the problem by not introducing awareness techniques, but by direct interaction with humans. We used Adobe products, Java and XML, Android Studio, and many research papers. We faced problems when we developed the idea's main premise; each of us had his own opinion but then we agreed on the final idea with its specific sequencing.

NASA and ESA data and resources were really of a great help to us. Starting with NASA HQ Diversity & Equal Opportunity, we found a lot of useful articles about racism and inequality. There was also Jet Propulsion Laboratory that had great stories to demonstrated the invalidation of racists and sexists’ idea. Johnson Space Center was also an invaluable resource that contained many useful information, of which were transcripts of interviews with Black astronauts in the section of Black History Month. There were also interesting researches in the International Space Station Research that contained articles which were very helpful in conducting research. We also used articles and statements from the ESA website to support out point that there is no gender superior to the other and to demonstrate the fact that the world is moving in the direction of fighting sexism. A detailed description of how NASA and ESA data were used can be found in the research Literature Review by clicking here.

Development:

In order to build the mobile application that would help reducing inequality, various resources were used, starting from designing the out layers to writing the codes. First, the designs of the applications were implemented using Adobe Illustrators, and Gravit Designer was used to make them fit for android window. After that, the code was written, and the designs were implemented with them to build the application. This was done mainly using Android Studio, and the used programming language was Java (and XML was used to implement the designs into Android Studio.) Below is a list of the programs used, followed by some of Java features that was utilized to build the app:

(Adobe Illustrator – Gravit Designer – Java Development Kit – Java Runtime – Android Studio)

(Scanner – DebugGraphics – Default ButomModel – DefaultFormatter – DefaultCellEditor)
