Breakthrough

Faster-than-light travel is the key to humanity’s dreams of inter-galactic space travel. Your challenge is to create an app, tool, game, or other interactive application that showcases both existing, as well as next generation/theoretical, breakthrough spacecraft propulsion in an engaging way.

Interstellar

Summary

All in all, our website is a kaleidoscope of interactive software with learning quizzes (Kahoot and Quizlet) and games (made by us), informative passages and creative elements like our forum (Google Groups) and photo-sharing pages. Not only is our website innovative, it is also organised. From the introductions on our homepage to passages on different topics, our website guarantees a memorable and smooth learning experience for everyone.

How We Addressed This Challenge

First, here's a link to our website:

https://sites.google.com/view/inter-stellar-hk

We developed this website to show all the possibilities of spacecraft propulsion to everyone on the Internet. It is important because the website can help raise awareness and enthusiam of space travel of the general public, which can steer the process of space exploration forward. The website provides information on different forms of spacecraft propulsion, and to provide a better experience to viewers we have added some interactive modules such as a forum and some quizzes (Kahoot and Quizlet). We hope that viewers are interested and want to know more about this subject after viewing this website.

How We Developed This Project

We chose this challenge because we are all interested in future space travel and of course, spacecraft propulsion. We were especially advanced in programming, so we decided to create a website for people to learn more about spacecraft propulsion. For this project we used Google Sites to create a website on a computer. It wasn't particularly difficult to create a website, but because this event is virtual, it is a bit hard for us to communicate efficiently.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We did use some data from NASA to provide better understanding to viewers of our website. For instance, we used some images and diagram to illustrate our website.
