High-Level Project Summary
ITTS 7 is a game built to tackle the main idea and deliver the discoveries NASA is accomplishing in simple words that can be helpful for young audiences. Our video game explains the stages the Aerospace engineers went through in building the solar probe, the materials they used while building it and why they used those specific materials. Therefore the different levels during the game will slowly explain everything about the probe and its mission.

Detailed Project Description
Our video game (Into The Sun 7) is a game that explains the stages the Aerospace engineers went through in building the solar probe, the materials they used while making it and why they used those specific materials. Therefore the different levels during the Game will slowly explain everything about the probe and its mission.
The Game has some features :
1) Photo Libary: Here, the user can find all photos collected by the packer's solar probe and other probes, and they will only be unlocked by the badges or points collected throughout the Game.
2) Articles: In addition to the Photo library, there will be an article library where the user can also unlock them by points or badges; these articles will tackle new information about the parker solar probe and other new NASA discoveries.
3) Videos: in addition to informational articles, videos will be posted to help the user understand even more about the parker solar probe and its journey to discovering the sun.
4) Chat with Nasa: this feature will give the user the privilege to ask Nasa experts questions, solutions, and ideas the user has for or about the parker solar probe; it will be accessed through gaining the badges after finishing each level.
5) Ranking: As a user, you can track your progress and compare it with others, where you can view their levels and points and know where you stand.
Our Game will also have different levels; in each level, the user can access some specific games to learn about the parker solar prob.
Space Agency Data
1)NASA

we used the NASA agency to collect data about the parker solar probe and to get more data collected by the parker solar probe.
2) NSSA

we got inspired by NSSA through their website tackling youth and kids, where they presented the data collected from their studies and simplified it to young audiences.
Hackathon Journey
We started the first day and were given several inspiring ideas to choose from. We decided "on the way to the sun." We worked on the research and presentation as a whole team and chose the name of our team, "ITTS-7". We attended many sessions presented by the most inspiring and successful people (Reem Al-Ali, Sarah Shaw, Dr. Issa Al-Bastaki, Ali Al-Nuaimi, Muhammad Abboud). We discussed all the challenges we faced could face, and we overcame them all in our project. On the second day, we consulted with Dr. Issa Al-Bastaki the challenge we chose, and we found it very inspiring and influential.
We look forward to winning this challenge, and we fulfill our promise to ourselves that we are working on the project to the fullest extent and to innovate in every detail.
