Better Together
Proyect We are all the same
Summary
As a team, we have chosen as a challenge of espace app Challenger *Better together* the same theme that inspires us to contribute to society and eliminate socio-cultural biases by providing equal opportunities to each of us. We have decided to create an application for "we are all equal" in which we seek to highlight the stories or testimonies that some of our members or visitors have and these same find solutions, as well as an archive section where you can view some documents that have already worked for other members and where they can suggest them.
How We Addressed This Challenge
What did you develop?
We have developed a tool, which starts from a process of change or social project within a collective environment in which human relationships develop to help the discrimination or inequality faced in political, economic and social systems.
Because it is important?
Is equality important because you imagine that only certain people can express themselves freely and others cannot?
This would not be democratic since we all have the rights to be different before society.
People are not equal, but equivalent.
Human rights are also called fundamental rights, they are those that reaffirm freedom of expression and that everyone can freely profess their religion or belief, that everyone has the right to privacy, keeping their personal information private.
What does?
These tools would facilitate help for those people who suffer, because they feel different from other people, either because of their skin color, religion or thoughts.
That is why we want to guarantee assistance to those people affected by inequality, providing tools so that anonymously they can be attended without fear of being pointed out.
How does it work?
Our campaign's main function is to reach people who have been the object of discrimination or inequality due to some factor in their environment, providing support or support with the creation of a community through the use of already established Apps such as Instagram, Facebook and even a blog of help where different people can tell their story and in the same way find solutions through members of this community that professionally or empirically can contribute with them in an objective way, either educational, for example: in the financial area or in a systematic way , as well as collect information that helps us to have a more assertive understanding of our environment and create improvements in our tool.

Obtaining inequality data and statistics
What we want to get to?
We want to make people see themselves and others as human beings, beings that make us unique, and avoid seeing ourselves with prejudices and deficiencies, seeing ourselves as complete humans in a life that each one takes at their own pace to realize our different cultures and unify our criterion, avoiding unemployment due to a physical trait or some distinction, generating job opportunities for who we are.
How We Developed This Project
What inspired your team to choose this challenge?
To create awareness about the inequality in people's minds when a person is treated differently or is discriminated against, such as their social position, their economic situation, their religion, their gender, the culture they come from or their sexual preferences, among other aspects.
What was your approach to developing this project?
In essence, it is a social aid project that aims to mitigate the problem of inequality that exists in our society today. Our project provides a tool of applications or websites to offer help to the community that is discriminated against, because of its gender, religion, ideology, custom, culture, color or ethnicity. The main objective of this campaign is to reach people and make them aware of the society that discriminated, manages to change this problem little by little to make this a better world.
What tools, coding languages, hardware, software did you use to develop your project?
The tools that will be used to carry out this project are made up of the MIT App Inventor program (Talk to me) which is an application designer for the Android system.

What problems and achievements did your team have?
In developing our challenge we had several limitations as is the time my team works and plan our time to develop the challenge, in addition to the information that it is difficult to seek solutions or causes to discrimination that is given to people but if we can seek with our project ways to prevent these actions and also, by participating in the Space apps gives us a beautiful experience that as the world meets to seek solutions to various problems of the planet, if not also how beautiful our country Panama is one to this cause to provide solutions to different challenges that exist.
The personal achievements of us comfort us to continue investigating and giving the best of us day by day, and that our project is of contribution to the people.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
How did you use the space agency's data in your project?
The data used were some of the article resources provided by the challenge, we used the data from nasa and other data from providers who do not share with nasa to make a compilation of the different discriminations that arise in the world, a person who is different because of their different traits.
How it influenced your project. It helped us to see where these different facts arise, and can be seen by any racial person, for abuse of power, distribution of wealth among people, educational inequality is at the base of social and economic inequality.
