High-Level Project Summary
During this project, objects were innovated and recreated, proposing to reduce the use of metals by incorporating different types of polymers, since their chemical and physical properties are suitable for the environment where they will be used.Each piece created was made with a common goal and that was that the members of the mission survived the time required on the planet, but we managed to turn the project around by incorporating new ideas with sustainable, ergonomic and modular bases in our designs so that the life span of each one was greater than one year.Different designs were made from the missing rim of the Robert to an electrical system based on wind turbines.

Detailed Project Description
Our project has a purpose to realize the design and modeling of tools, the greenhouse, the furniture, the tenement and the electrical and hydraulic system to help us to get electric energy to survive a year and supply intelligent devices via 3D printers made in polymers, ceramics and metals that were obtain from the ship we came and the minerals and alloys that the ground from Mars give us.
Space Agency Data
We use the page that NASA provide like the dataset that includes a simplified design of a rover wheel for the modeling of our wheel; the link with information on analog habitats that reproduce space travel conditions on Earth to help learn about what we need to live in space; and the Canadian Space Agency we took the link with the information about the Martian wheather also the NIST information about technical information of manufactor and modeling.
Hackathon Journey
As a team, we learn about team work who told us values and experience, also we scape our comfort zone like some of one ours dont know about somes skills that was it required, but its wasnt an impediment to learn and try.
One of our inspirations to choose this challenge was the design of diferents tools and work with diferents modeling computer-aided designs and ours certificates in that modeling.
We as a team worked in diferents areas of mechanical design complementing us with diferents brainstorming about the prototypes that we create and trying to improve them to be sustainable, ergonomic, practicals and evolutionary.
