Hey! What Are You Looking At?
Glarker- What are you looking at?
Summary
Our project is oriented into giving easy access to the public of excellent web pages, where they can not only see what's happening at the current time but also learn in a very fun, interactive, and easy way. In addition, we have made a couple of interesting things that will help young people and adults to be more interested in electromagnetic energy and linked topics.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We have developed a web page with lots of things like interactive videos, a galaxy map with current states of stars, etc. It is important for our project because, as students, we know that learning can be quite boring and we know that we will remember more any topic if we associated it with something fun. It gives you all the basic and interesting information you need to know if you want to learn something from the beginning. It can be used on any mobile device like computers, phones, and tablets, you just need an internet connection. We are willing to make people be interested in scientific things and what's happening outside Earth in a very unique way, where they can enjoy it and at the same time learn without feeling like you are doing so.
How We Developed This Project
We thought that this one had potential and would be very interesting. We only used free tools so anyone could have access or do it (adventr, jupyter, unity). We had a couple of problems through the way but we managed to solve them all in team, also we know there was always room for improvement.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
The data from NASA is our main source because we used their images, observatories, telescopes and so much more in order to make up our project. It influenced our project in that, every time we had access to a new link with more info, we would always try to add that to have more interesting info and have a complete site web.
