Hey! What Are You Looking At?
GW EINSTEIN
Summary
We are a team that wants people to get to know more about Physics, specially the Gravitational Wave's field. This science topic be should be accessible to anybody who wants to learn about Astrophysics. We've created an app to organize and explain in a better way how gravitational waves, and other electromagnetic events works, and how are they detected and to teach everyone this is something every human being could learn, from children to grown-up-people.Also, this could be used in science reaserch or in Education field.It's like having NASA in your backyard!
How We Addressed This Challenge
We developed an application to organize the information about gravitational waves and other physics topic related to electromagnetic events. It is important for research, but we think and want this to be used in education and observation. It gives you the possibility to find this kind of information in a single site, with origin in several sources. It works as a catalog and also as an information page: information about gravity, gravitational waves, radiation, and others. So if you are a person that knows anything about physics, you can access to this information and have the possibility of studying and understanding it. We would like students and teachers, even children to get in this app and use it as an information site, which is accessible, understandable and easy-going. So we are trying to improve it and to add some images, sounds, videos, and other content that anyone can enjoy and use. We want anybody to be science's thirsty!
How We Developed This Project
It is a very recent topic and it has just begun its study, which makes it a great challenge. Our approach to developing this project is to orient it towards education.
The tools used for the development are html, javascript, but we created this website and this app so everyone can use it without any problem or previous knowledge.
We've had some trouble though: the problems that were found were when registering in the information sources sites to use their programming APIs, but the page was done without problems.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
All resources provided by NASA Apps have been used. Especially LIGO's website. That place provided us all the information we needed to create this place about gravitational waves.
