How Does Climate Change Affect You? Spread Awareness!

High-Level Project Summary

We have developed an animated video to raise awareness about climate change. Our aim is to educate people, make them aware of the problems we all face as global citizens, and share possible solutions. A little change in our habits can make a significant change.Our project is easy to understand and targets an audience of all ages which is crucial since climate change is a global problem. Our work is important as our topic holds significance in our society and every member of the community is facing the problem. Our video educates and motivates individuals. Climatologists alone cannot solve the problems unless we all contribute together as global citizens.

Detailed Project Description

For our project, we uploaded the video on the Youtube channel. Our video starts with a question in order to attract our target audience’s attention and make them ponder upon the cause. The question we used is “ have you ever wondered the reason for the early winters with fewer amounts of snow and the dry summers? “it is also divided into subtopics for the comfort of viewers.


 Then we answered the question and mentioned the cause which is “climate change”. We have given a brief explanation followed by numerical data and graphs to prove the statement. Furthermore, we talk about what is causing the change, mention some local and global examples, and display the time lapse that displays how global warming is affecting us and what will be the future if it continues. It is done to trigger people and to make them think about how they can contribute to preventing it, right after which we tell them how making small changes in their habits can slow it down 


we aimed to include some important points like how some people's lives are affected by the climate change by droughts, some plants stop growing or as the summers get hotter the plants dry. the situation for the animals they change their living areas. all of these are connected with each other and therefore as one of them will have a change than they all will follow after them. as humans we also get the bad results of it.


we didnt have the chance to finish our video and to include what we wanted exactly as it was our first trial on making an animation, we hope to get the chance to improve ths video in the future. all we wanted to say in general was, our planet is rich of everything we need and humans sometimes forget it and act greedy, we forget that we cannot eat money, when the last tree falls down, the only water left will be the tears of humans with no hopes left. Reflecting all of this in a 3mins video was not possible for us, but we are happy that we at least felt like we are heroes of earth, even if we will make one person aware, it may cause to lots of changes, so no work is wasted.


The video ends with our team motto: “ there is no planet B”. The benefit of our video is it is easy to understand and targets an audience of all ages and we hope that it will spread awareness about what is happening around them, and why is it happening. And what can we do? We have used Fire Alpak, Canva, CapCat

Space Agency Data

We collected data from Nasa and United Nations, we looked for each topics that are related to our project. Then we summarized the information into few sentences which connects the topics to each other Therefore, it made our work easier to make some documents ourselves.

Hackathon Journey

The Space App Challenge provides a friendly environment and opportunity to meet new people, work in a professional setting while also providing everyone with a chance to demonstrate their skills. It opens the door for new friendships and team building. Moreover, it’s encouraged us to collaborate and cooperate with each other in a team.

As we are well aware that NASA is a globally recognized organization, we decided to participate in the challenge that it is organizing to encourage and inspire teenagers to create projects and initiatives to address worldwide problems. Climate change is a global issue and it is worsening every year hence we decided to choose this challenge and make a video that will help everyone to get further aware about this problem as this is what inspired us from the challenge.

We inquired about the knowledge of locals regarding whether or not they are aware of climate change in order to be more particular and realistic about what we are working on. Hence, we gathered all the data and applied the impact on our work. The Award is not what we are looking for; rather, it is the survival of our planet. We want every person to understand that they all have a part to play in "Saving the Humanity," even if we don't win the Award. That’s what our mutual aim as a team is.

There is always pros and cons at every challenge that we confront. Although our team was very confident in the project we were working on, we always tried to win despite taking risks. Surely, we can not achieve perfect the way we desire but we as a team, we have confidence in ourselves, our work and we believe that at space app challenge we will be remember
