High-Level Project Summary
We, 913BBN, designed a website in two days as a team without any coding knowledge. Since our challenge was to make information for all ages, as students, we'll be adding our own summary of missions with official links below. We have one mission to showcase but this website will be a weekly updated one. This is important to us because we wanted to make a project with future potancial and give readers time for research about missions that interest them . Our hope is that this website will encourage people to read more and search more about Earth missions.

Detailed Project Description
Our website makes it possible for everyone of all ages to learn about the Earth-observing missions NASA's carried out. Since the website will be updated every week, readers'll have time to make researches about the mission they're intrested in while waiting for the next one. We, as students, will also be adding our own summaries and offical mission links in relevant pages for further details. By doing this we hope to present to you, a all-in-one primary source website. Lastly we completed this project in two days, without any coding knowledge and using Google Sites, Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 and Microsoft Word 2010.
Space Agency Data
We used the resources on NASA Space Apps Challenges' website. For example "Basic Details on Many NASA Earth-Observing Stallites" link helped us make the mission page showcase, "Websites about NASA Missions" helped us make the 'near future missions' part and gave us an idea of our website design, "EO Dashboard" shaped our future plans for our website.
Hackathon Journey
We first heard about NASA Space Apps Challenge through our teachers from Bahçeşehir Science and Technology High School. Completing the drafts two days before Hackathon Journey, we had a hard time bringing our project to life with zero coding experience. In a day we tried to use lots of tools and had difficulty using them but kept on trying because we believed ninth graders can do it too. Luckily with the help of our teachers, on the first day of Space Apps Challenge we started building the website with an appropriate one. We believe this journey has given us a lot of fun and educational experiences. By choosing "Nimbus to Now" challenge, meeting new people and watching presentations we learned a lot from the core of the Earth to the dephts of space. For making this possible, we thank our local lead Selman Canlı and teachers Cem Yurtlak and Uğur Emre Cengiz.
