High-Level Project Summary
I developed a ppt that quickly tells people about the project and motivates them to try new things, not to be afraid of the novelties or dreaming big and can be used at school.

Detailed Project Description
1) it is a ppt that can be used as complementary material to a lesson about astronomy, self-development, and even Greek mythology, as it has reference to all three!
2) it can be used as a guidance for the lesson and adjusted for the needs of the teacher. Literature teacher could make an emphasis on the Icarus and Daedalus myth and give it a new, optimistic ending. Astronomy teacher could go in depth into the NASA related detail, and so on.
3) I hope that a short, simple présentation (this one is a raw version that needs to be finalised!) will awaken the interest for astronomy in both children and adults, remind them of their dreams and encourage them to pursue these hopes.
4) NASA articles, canva.com

Hackathon Journey
It was a bit hectic, as I only registered and read the tasks of the challenges on the second day of Hackathon.
Yet , I am glad I took the chance to participate in the project this year because it returned my old self, my younger self, who used to be fascinated by the stars, back to me. It was also a great opportunity to learn more about the Sun and the Solar Probe itself, as I couldn't have imagined such things were already possible.
