High-Level Project Summary
Team SOL-enoid developed the basic script and images of our podcast/picture book made to tell young audiences all about Parker Probe's journey to the sun. The script contains dialogue in the form of logs and interviews, making it an immersive experience for everyone watching/listening. This script can be developed into a website in which kids can both read or listen to the script and watch the pictures, diagrams, and dialogue drawn all around. This gives reach to a larger audience as people can choose to read or listen, allowing much more user friendly interactions. This prompts more kids to research about probes and possible light interests in space all around, making more scientists.

Detailed Project Description
The script can be used by kids with auditory or sight issues.
Team SOL-enoid wishes to develop this project into a fully interactive website in which real audio logs are used to read out the transcripts while the text is played over, and characters (like the parkerbot) explain the images and diagrams provided when clicked upon. Like an exploration website that explains all things related to the Parker Probe. Not only is it interesting to young minds, all kids with any and every disability should be able to use this website. That is our final goal with the blueprint and idea we've given.
Space Agency Data
All drawings made by hand, inspiration was taken for the Venus images and solar wind images from the NASA images website, no direct image taken.
Hackathon Journey
It was the most hectic rush I've had since the past year, and I look forward to doing it once more next year. I've learnt many things, from team work, to time management (oof!), to presenting data ( both live and on project), and so much more about the Parker Probe than I did before. It's definitely reawakened my obsession with space, and i do have to thank this challenge for it. It seems i have more brain power than i estimated, that was a learning moment. Absolutely. I've learnt about people with ideas, talents, and how they put it to use.
Our team, unfortunately, did not have a web developers, or a content maker, for us to edit videos' or games. We decided to tackle this by making a text based ARG styled script that can be converted into podcasts and games, both. I'd like to thank my teammate for her vibrant artwork, seeing as this wouldn't have been as eye-catching as it was, with only text.
