High-Level Project Summary
We developed a mobile application that consists of 3 parts: the first is an educational module developed with AR based on filters where a bank of general knowledge questions about astronomy and NASA research is presented, the second is a visual demonstration on the effects that has space weather in our lives with everyday objects so that people dynamically understand the importance of the data obtained by satellites such as the Parker Solar Probe and the third is a geolocation tool, which together with the data obtained by the resources of NASA warns users of the risk they run due to the time of exposure to solar radiation, hoping to prevent dermatological diseases, such as burns, irritation

Detailed Project Description
To meet the challenge, we developed a mobile application in Flutter Sdk 3.3 that will be available on Android and Ios operating systems, as well as on the web, it consists of 3 parts:
1. Educational module:
We developed an educational module based on AR, it presents the user with a bank of general knowledge questions about astronomy and expeditions carried out by NASA, the user interacts with the questions through filters with augmented reality, with the aim of disseminating and informing the the population regardless of age barriers and gender gaps.
2. Space Simulator:
We developed a simple, intuitive, dynamic and fun way to display the data obtained by NASA satellites on the sun and space weather. With animations we show the effects that the various changes in space weather have on everyday objects and on life on our planet, for example, if the temperature of the solar wind increases a lot, on earth we would have massive blackouts of light as we had in New York some years ago. The user will be able to see the various effects of the solar wind when some parameters increase or decrease and thus we show the data obtained by the satellites in a friendly and understandable way for non-scientists. In addition, with this module we raise awareness about the importance of these space missions.
3. Alert module:
We developed a tool that connects to real-time data from NASA satellites and alerts us about radiation based on our location on earth, if we have been exposed to the sun longer than recommended with the radiation in our area, the application alerts us by vibrating the mobile device. In this way we make use of the data obtained by the satellites and we also provide a useful tool to users that will allow them to take care of themselves to avoid health problems that space weather can cause, such as dermatological diseases, such as burns, irritations or cancer. of skin

Hackathon Journey
It was an event in which the team learned the importance of the data collected by NASA's solar satellites and with our application we offer an alternative for its disclosure so that non-scientific users can understand it.
