Phase 4 - We are almost at GO! The team consist of USA, India and Pakistan members. So as our sisters prepare for school tomorrow, we in the US will continue to hack it out. We have updated our information thanks to the "Offers from the SpaceApps Challenge" supporters. We have used Amazon Sumerian to upload code to give our mascot a voice!! So exciting. Some of us are first time users and this is such as amazing treat to play with the easy to use coding tools. We also have used the software for Board Management through Miro. This has helped organize our thoughts and ideation and allowed us to vote on what was the best EPIC story and choose the correct references to apply to our research. I just want to say that I hope you all are having as much fun, and less sleep than we are. HAAAA

We are four people who identify as women, cis gen and are empowering youth to begin learning more about the benefits of science and exploration. In our team, we have built boards that help convey our message and thought process to design an avatar/mascot that is a disruptive AI with a sense of humor to entertain you as you work within the main search engines for the Space Agencies. This Mascot is able to animate and interact with commands through the console and is non verbal but has sound effects and beeps much like sputnik. The intent was to collaborate with young scientists and mentor them through the process. We all showed passion and interest and the desire to display our skills in web design, 3D rendering and Storytelling.
