High-Level Project Summary
What did you develop? We designed a model of the Park Solar Probe with suggested improvments.How does it "solve" the challenge? Despite the satelite not being a working model, we believe it offers some great suggestions that would improve its work in its mission.Why is it important?It is important to learn about the nearest star to earth, it is one of the reasons we are alive.

Detailed Project Description
What exactly does it do?
It acts a model for the designers of the probe to look at and take some ideas.
How does it work?
It does not work at the moment, but given more time we could develop a working model with some assistance from professionals.
What benefits does it have?
It has 4 main added benefits, a dust catcher, sun shield, solar panels, and a light for a camera.
What do you hope to achieve?
What tools, coding languages, hardware, or software did you use to develop your project?
We used everyday recycled materials in addition to some solar panels we had.

Hackathon Journey
What did you learn?
It was an interesting project, we learned how to work well together.
What inspired your team to choose this challenge?
We wanted to pick something more challenging than our peers.
What was your approach to developing this project?
At first we thought about using the school's 3D printer but that would have taken too long.
