High-Level Project Summary
During the project, we had a lot of fun as a team. We never heard of this project about touching the Sun before so it was an interesting experience. During project we developed skills about working as a team and scanning literature better. We helped each other in various ways to complete it. Personally even I didn't expect us to come this far. Other than that, I feel like my mindset got bigger a hundred times after this project. I feel like I can find hundred ways to help humanity. Our project's main goal was to give children information about the Parker Solar Probe. It is important because today's minors doesn't really care about anything expect for fun. We wanna spread information to them.

Detailed Project Description
Our project helps minors to learn about the journey of the Parker Solar Probe. It is an amazing invention that has been around for so long yet not known as much as it should be. For example, I am sure there are dozens of millions of people out there who doesn't think that it will ever be possible to even get close to the Sun. One of them was me, I never expected us to make something so durable that it can withstand the power of Sun but here we are. It will help people to wake up their imagination. This way we will find even more ways to improve the project. We don't have a big objective to do, our only goal is to raise awarness about how important is Parker Soler Probe's objective for us.
Space Agency Data
We used space agency data from NASA's website about Parker Solar Probe. We took information from them and put it into paper with an easier way to tell so those who read it doesn't fall a sleep while reading so.
Hackathon Journey
It was a fun experience where we worked as a team. We felt like a family when we were doing project so. We spent late nights thinking about what should we do and all. We learnt about the Parker Solar Probe's journey and how important it was for humanity's progress in future. It was our first time hearing that, it would accutally be better learning things like that in school for any age. It would make us more hungry for information to learn about. We chose to do this challenge out of them all because it told us to tell a story about it. Our team members are bookworms. Not only books but digital books, magazines, news and more we guys read in our daily life a lot. So it was easy job to do we guys thought. We just maintained one goal, to raise awareness to minors about things humans achieved. We believed it would make them feel how important they are and what they can achieve. Human mind doesn't have a limit, if you think hard enough eventually you will find something to take a step about. We guys could achieve it by working as a team. If only some of us worked then it would be impossible to finish it. I want to thank our teacher Ahmet Sülü for informing us about this project. Otherwise we wouldn't be here.
