High-Level Project Summary
Our proposal is a personified product of a child astronaut who decides to travel to the Sun in his ship named "PARKER" to save his earth (home).The objective of our Little Astronaut is to show and tell through a story the launch of NASA's "PARKER" into space, which will be in a didactic way in order to promote user interaction with the story, all to show small images of about "PARKER". The images and videos come from NASA publications, and are linked to its official page, allowing the user to obtain verified information. The level of attention that the user gives to the story will manifest different moods of the story and will increase or decrease the level of interaction with the user.

Detailed Project Description
Our application has the ability to tell the story of PARKER in a creative and interactive way with users, for which the programming language of HTML, CSS and Java Script is used, apart from movements and voice. With the work carried out, it is hoped to inform young students about PARKER's mission in an interactive way.
Space Agency Data
We draw on NASA PARKER research and insights as inspiration to create our story. The story was told based on the information about PARKER that is available, when and how it was launched into space.

Hackathon Journey
The Space Apps Challenge is an incomparable experience because it allows us to develop professionally and be creative in writing our proposals. We learned teamwork, empathy and sharing knowledge with each other. We were inspired to choose this challenge because the work NASA did with PARKER caught our attention.
Throughout the teamwork, many difficulties arose, but with the help of the entire team and, above all, responsibility and communication, we succeeded.
On behalf of the entire team, we would like to thank the Space Apps Challenge-NASA team for the opportunity to be part of this type of contest.
