High-Level Project Summary
I've tried my best to fulfil every specification that was needed in the challenge, I've created STL models, which are shown in the presentation slides, I've come up with different solutions to different problems such as making a fridge that doesn't need electricity or making an oven that also heats the room, I also showcase a rover wheel design in my presentation as asked for, there for my project mostly meets the specifications of the challenge and I've also come up with different types of designs to minimize material use. I also showcase some new methods I've come up with, such as developing string from PLA plastic (with the help of a 3D printer of course) and more.

Detailed Project Description
our project tries to meet every challenge that was given to us, in the Outfitting a Mars Habitat: A 3D Print Challenge. our project is a presentation, where all of the information is showcased, for example the ideas, 3D models (STL files), and so on. our projects benefit is that our ideas are simply all together in one presentation and we have some innovative new ideas. we hope to achieve victory with our project. we used powerpoint (to develop the presentation), also 3D modelling applications, such as ultimaker cura (for slicing the models), and tinkercad (for fast and easy modelling).
Space Agency Data
I used NASA's "curiosity" rover designs to complete the rover wheel 3D model part of the challenge.
Hackathon Journey
I would describe this hackathon as an interesting journey, frankly It's almost 6 in the morning and I had to work by myself to this minute because my teammate simply didn't know anything about the subject, I learned that if I push myself I can achieve big things in "little" time, the reason why I chose this challenge is because this is the best subject that I can truly say I know something about, I love 3D modelling and it has become a big part of my life lately, my approach was to contain everything in one space (such as a presentation) so it would be easier to explain everything to the judges, of course I will also show them live 3D models if it will be necessary, but for now I'm planning to show them my models by images. the main challenge was figuring everything out and starting to work, after that everything went more easily.
