High-Level Project Summary

We decided to create an enjoyable way to tell young audiences the inspiring story of Parker’s record-breaking journey from Earth to the Sun and all the perils it overcame on the way.It is an animated cartoon – we made it by using Ghacha life application on the phone. The content of the Video includes four students with their teacher who asks them about the research – Parker Solar Probe – and the information, Images, and Some cut clips are added.It's important because it tells the story in a cartoon way that kids tend to have and not in a way that tells boring information to them.

Detailed Project Description

We developed a fun way to tell the story of the Parker probe that touched the sun. The solution is a video of cartoons (students) discussing Parker's journey with their teacher and asking questions and When the question is answered, a small clip of the question from Parker's trip will appear in the background to attract the attention of the viewer. It's important because it tells the story in a cartoon way that kids tend to have and not in a way that tells boring information to them.

The main points of the video:

Parker Solar Probe.

What is corona?

What is Alfven?

The heat shield.

The main components of the probe.

Discovers of PSP.

Challenges that the probe faced.

Venus.

This video.

This video is not boring and attracts the attention of the viewer, and we have chosen the class as a venue for the event in order to convey a message about the need to talk about these inventions in schools so that children know the importance of science and this most important benefit. We hope that it will be a way to teach young people the importance of the Parker probe when it managed to reach the sun, and that the young people will know the efforts of scientists and what they are doing for the advancement of mankind.

We used: Gacha life app, VivaCut, Phone, PowerPoint, and Slidesgo site.





Space Agency Data

We used all the links from Nasa site, and we use the clips from the video on Nasa site. We wrote the script of the video from the same site.

Hackathon Journey

This exciting experience that includes creative youth, we were happy to be with them and share ideas, in addition, we learned a lot during this trip; we made new friends, learned how to produce a video, design cartoon characters, solve problems and face difficulties by collaborating in solving them and participating in accomplishing tasks. Studying important information with intense focus is an obstacle for children in light of the many distractions around them, so it was good to invent a way for them to learn from something they love - cartoons - and at the same time with available capabilities and our experience in making videos. This was our inspiration to choose this challenge to appropriate our skills. The approach is a video of cartoons (students) discussing Parker's journey with their teacher and asking questions and when the question is answered, a small clip of the question from Parker's trip will appear in the background to attract the attention of the viewer. We thank Benha university and its monitors for their amazing hosting.

On the Way to the Sun

On April 28, 2021, during its eighth flyby of the Sun, Parker Solar Probe did what no other human-made object has ever done: it “touched” the Sun—meaning the spacecraft flew through the Sun’s upper atmosphere (the corona) and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. Your challenge is to develop a creative way to tell young audiences the inspiring story of Parker’s record-breaking journey from Earth to the Sun and all the perils it overcame on the way.
