All with a simple way that kids and teenager can understand the physics with the easiest way " playing "
we used unity
Space Agency Data
Most of the information was provided by NASA's open data, wikipedia simplified was to get some general ideas
Hackathon Journey
It was a tiering experience (the all nighter in front of a pc), but we had some fun times and strengthened our friendship.
all in all, we'd like to thank the staff and the discord community for guiding us and helping us as much as possible.
