High-Level Project Summary
We developed a vehicle moving by carbon radiation and a buzzer that makes sounds from oxygen data. Our problem was the lack of information in Heliophysics. Because ıt's a litte complicated people are scared from heliophysics. Because of that we choose to make this data easier to understand. We believed that if we can make a good product we can both help entrepreneurs to make money from this industry but we also canhelp the community because this products helps people to understand complicated topic easily and it can also be used in various ways. We believe that innovative teaching can help billions of people around the world. Maybe there will be heliophysicist who played with this product.

Detailed Project Description
Using our buzzer, we assigned a note value to the range of each oxygen data. In this way, we have presented the data we received from NASA in a way that can be understood by people of all ages. We also adjusted the speed of our car using the Sun's carbon radiation data from the Parker Probe. Since the carbon radiation and oxygen values of the Sun have a direct effect on the aging of the Sun, people of all ages will be able to understand the aging process of the Sun more easily. This will contribute to raising public awareness in the field of Heliophysics and to the spread of this field. It has been a product that will bring both profit to the producer and awareness to the public in the long run, as it informs and entertains children.
We used Arduino IDE to turn the datas into visual and auditory products. We used C++ and C sharp . We also used buzzer, car and Visual Studio Community .
Space Agency Data
We used NASA's datas. First we examined the datas and we thought about what can we do with them. Then we decided to use carbon and oxygen datas because they were related to sun's age. After that we agreed on what we can do with them . So we decided to make a car that makes noises from the datas we got. We used buzzer and arduino for the auditory data display and we used a car to make a visual .
Hackathon Journey
We were really excited for this Hackathon. It was our first Space Apps Challenge and it went very well. The experince that we went through was priceless. We learned data types, how to use ESP32 and arduino. Also we learned how to deal with the crises and being togehter despite everything. We have calmed each other down on tense situations. We chose this challenge because we wanted everyone to see what is going on on the sun. It has never got more fun to compare the datas. I would like to thank NASA, Space Apps and ODTU GGT for giving the chance this spectacular experience.
