How does climate change affect us | Aquastronauts

High-Level Project Summary

Our project aspires to reflect the effects of climate change on our planet, We also worked on the effects of climate change on our country, we did it in the form of an educational video.We made this video for everyone who sees it to help stop climate change by changing their habits and behaviors, to create a better future.This is very important because climate change is a real serious problem, if we don't stop it now many forests will be burned, ice will melt, animals will die and humans will have life problems.We talked also about climate change in Morocco, and how it affects us directly in our city, Oujda.We ended the video by saying that it's not too late, we can still save earth.

Detailed Project Description

Our project aspires to reflect the effects of climate change on our planet and to recall the seriousness of the situation. We also worked on the effects of climate change on our country, we did that in a form of an educative video.

We started our video with a leap into a dystopian future, we showed how climate change could affect our planet if nothing changes, which means the phenomenal natural disasters that will happen if we don't stop it.

Then we went back to our modern times, and especially to the news, and talked about the floods that are happening in Pakistan. It was a way for us to reflect on how actual the problem is and to show the impact that it has on populations. Then we used the NASA data and showed the impacts of climate change on the icebergs in parts like Greenland and the rise of the sea. 

Then we mentioned the fact that the cause of all of this is humans. Then we went to Morocco and the recent events that happened this summer with the wildfires that happened in northern Morocco. We also mentioned our region and the water deficiency that we had to phase. 

We finish with the conclusion that we have the time to save the earth if we want to.

Our main goal and the benefit we hope to achieve through this video is that everyone who sees this video will help stop climate change by changing their habits and behaviors, to create a better future.

W e used Adobe Premiere Pro to make the video.

It helped us a lot in order to prove that climate change impacts us, using real numbers and stats.

Hackathon Journey

To be honest, our experience at Space Apps was one of the best experiences we've ever had, we learned a lot of things during the job, like teamwork, communication, leadership, flexibility and well other interpersonal skills. In addition to the skills and knowledge we acquired from the Space apps Oujda mentors, they did their best to prepare us for the challenge. We also met many talented and passionate people and expanded our network. Our experience was good also because the organizing team did their best to create a perfect working environment, they have our gratitude.

Finally, we had an incredible experience and even more incredible memories, so we thank the U.S Embassy of Morocco, NASA, and Nasa Space Appls Oujda for this opportunity!
