High-Level Project Summary
Burning fossil fuels release green house gases into the atmosphere and cause global warming and climate change. Some effects of this is heatwaves, wildfires, melting sea ice, rising sea levels, stronger weather and more. We developed a 3 minute video that provided scientific truth and evidence about climate change. We used resources from space agencies like NASA to make our video. This video talks about how climate change affects us and what climate change is.

Detailed Project Description
This video helps people see that global warming is not just a thing of the future it is happening right here and right now. When they watch the video they will learn the effects of global warming and climate change and how to solve it. We used a video-editing software called WeVideo to make our video.
Space Agency Data
Akshitha used climate.nasa.gov to learn about sea level rising. The rest of the team also used it to gain other information. We used it to provide scientific evidence for our video and project demo. It inspired us to add most pieces of scientific data on there and made us motivated to finish our video.
Hackathon Journey
Our space apps experience was really fun. We wish that we had more time to prepare. Some setbacks we had is that the first video we made was really rushed and not that good so we decided to redo each of our parts and it came out better. And then we came to the Hackathon and started editing our video. There was some confusions along the way but we smoothed it out.
