High-Level Project Summary
The project Here Comes The Sun It consists in resolution of challenge Creative Data Display with the Parker Solar Probe, and aims to disseminate data provided by NASA regarding solar climate surveys observed through Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter. In this way, as in the Beatles songs, we want to bring science closer to young people. Our platform solves the problem of language accessibility for the general public, but focused on children's development, strengthening the foundation to enable a better future. In this way, encouraging future generations to develop the necessary skills to occupy strategic spaces in decision-making.

Detailed Project Description
HCS is a gamification platform that helps students learn about subjects not commonly accessed, but important. Upon entering the platform, you have the option to choose one of the two probes that study the sun and, from the choice of one of them, go through a knowledge trail that will lead you to questions corresponding to the trail you chose to follow, but comprehensively. also covering topics such as climate and materials used in these probes, enabling the study of heat and resistance, etc. From the knowledge acquired with the questions, answers and sources of study, it can become an important tool in helping science education in schools, providing the stimulus of children participating in educational olympiads. Democratization of science and education from children and young people. The platform was made in Visual Studio Code on top of JavaScript added to React, Vite.
Space Agency Data
We used the images provided by what made it possible, visually, to get to know Astro Rei. https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/
From the content accessed here, ,https://science.nasa.gov/heliophysics, it was possible to have a detailed understanding of how the study of the nature of the Sun works, even how space weather can interfere with our communications, satellites and electrical networks.

The NASA Space website itself was a fundamental source of knowledge for the team about this challenge.
Hackathon Journey
Quite a challenge, we would say. Working as a team is never easy, but ours, in particular, knew very well how to deal with the nuances of delivery and with the stones that were placed in the middle of the way. The inspiration for choosing this challenge was the understanding that the Sun is our King star and that the probes that analyze and study it offer systematic content so that we can delve deeper into this knowledge.
