High-Level Project Summary
Worked explicitly to explain psps journey to the sun by allowing learners to get in depth knowledge effortlessly and gluing fidgety young geniuses through extensive amount of spectacles by implementing interactive materials such as games,animated videos and VR simulation making users spent hours of learning without mental fatigue ,made possible only through the blessing of extensive information released through NASA’s resources.We are producing a hub of geniuses that will turn out to be a single platform to learn about space for everyone with fun and ease and reward us by creating future prodigies who will later go on to serve humankind by unraveling mysteries within and out of the world

Detailed Project Description
Our team is working to make a web-based learning material that will explain Parker's record-breaking journey. It will help the young stars to learn about the sun, space and the solar system.Our website teaches learners about the sun, solar system, science,tech, Earth, Universe etc. From this learning material, learners will know the answer to many questions, play games, solve puzzles, and watch simulation videos.Brilliant and genius minds derive from the curious ones. Rarely there has been a child who hasn't been fascinated with space and spacecrafts but they lack patience. Through our website we will be able to trer the right amount of passion and patience to propel these youngs to achieve superior analaysis abilty,great thinking,ability to think out of the box and future leaders Parkers Crew is not only producing a web-based learning material but its making a hub to create geniuses.
We have used web development tools like HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React etc. to build our website. [parkers_probe]
•For the Game purposes we have used python and pygame.
•For the VR simulations we have used unreal engine 5.
•For the pictures and videos we used NASA’s resources (website, videos and blogs).

Space Agency Data
Our team has been long fascinated with parkers probe and learning aboout its developement courtesy to Nasa's open resouces such as their website ,blog and videos that is fueling and ensuing our ever growing curiosity.Nasa had released the way it was going to study and monitor sun and space through 5 important sensors guiding us on how to move through space.Moreover,Nasa put enough emphasis on teaching us many space phenomena which we are planning to impliment in our VR simulation.We got to learn that the suns magnetic field does a 180 backflip known as switcback.We also got to learn about flybys,Hohmann transfer,Suns atmosphere etc.We gathered these information conscisely to build interactive teaching modules,animated videos and quizzes.In our VR simulation we are planning to mimic parkers situation by using real time data provided by Nasa.

Hackathon Journey
It has been a tremendous learning journey where we ourselves had to put in all of our knowledge and skills to present complex information in a simple way for everyone to understnd especially the young children.It was a different experience since it wasnt a luxury for us now to earn knowledge but rather had to give in all of our dedication so that even the tiniest wasnt left unscathed.Ever since we saw this challenge came into existence we knew it was made for us to exhibit our knowledge and put our skills to test.Every single members of us passed sleepless nights to build this learning material.That little child in our heart resonated together with the same pitch and with huge efforts we built something that is going to revolutionize the way people is going to learn about space and other celestial bodies.We came up with this idea because even though we are huge space enthusiasts we sometimes lose our concentration as we struggle to understand expert terminologies so we could only imagine how hard it must be for young children.But now through our website not even a single child will leave without learning for what they came for.We wanted to build more complex and challenging games but after toiling for so long we soon realized that we have been taking a more longer route and a less effective route.Instead of spending hours and hours of coding and building 3D models we came up with different ideas of game which were more robust in turn more effective and viable.We would like to thank every mentor that BASIS provided us with,it always felt like we had an extra team member helping us as they showed equal enthusiasm and love for our project and especially Md Khan Sohel sir since he had been with us throughout to support us and help us.
