High-Level Project Summary
We developed a short video on Climate change, analyzing the climate changes in our region and the impacts that affect each living being. We gave the project title as, "We Change The Climate, Does Climate Change Us?" This title makes us think about the aftereffects of climate change. When we speak about climate change, we often make the mistake of thinking that it is a problem that doesn't affect us in our everyday lives. This video helps us realize how severely climate change affects each individual's life. It is important to realize how small mistakes of each individual can lead to massive destruction of our planet and our personal lives which can even lead to our extinction.

Detailed Project Description
We developed a short video on Climate change, analyzing the climate changes in our region and the impacts that affect each living being. We gave the project title as, "We Change The Climate, Does Climate Change Us?" This title makes us think about the aftereffects of climate change. When we speak about climate change, we often make the mistake of thinking that it is a problem that doesn't affect us in our everyday lives. This video helps us realize how severely climate change affects each individual's life. It is important to realize how small mistakes of each individual can lead to massive destruction of our planet and our personal lives which can even lead to our extinction.
The project aims in creating awareness for all age groups to understand the impact of climate change. So we tried to include a small animation video to influence small age groups, to attract the children's attention.
Space Agency Data
We referred to all the sites and resources NASA provided us. We mainly used the site " climate.nasa.gov.in ", NASA Climate Change. We saw the data on how much the amount of Carbon Dioxide is increased year by year and how much the global temperature increases.
Hackathon Journey
We are so grateful to NASA for giving us such a wonderful opportunity to develop our skills and fellowship. We learned a lot many things about our project topic as well as we learned new technical skills. We even learned to create animation videos within these 2 days. We were able to learn and develop new skills, and fellowship and we were able to enjoy these days with not only a competitive mindset but also a learning mindset.
We were inspired to take on the challenge of Climate Change as we personally experience the impact of climate change in our personal lives. So we were determined to show the world about the forgotten fact that climate change really affects people's lives.
We were out of resources and we didn't have an idea where to begin. We are grateful to NASA for providing the necessary resources and we got the idea for our video from NASA's resources. Later we planned and implemented the idea into a video.
The main setback our team faced is that we didn't know how to implement our idea into a video. That's when we decided to learn a new skill. In an attempt to learn new skills, we studied to create animation videos. Though the video has its own imperfections we are proud to present our first animation video.
