Breaking records

High-Level Project Summary

The project focus on creating a full responsive website that represents the whole journey of the Parker solar probe that NASA had created. At first, the data was collected about the journey Parker solar probe did after a deep searching phase. Then it was the time to start breaking the records project. Through the probe’s journey, it broke and will break a lot of records that were not achieved by other spacecrafts before, such as the fastest object made by a human being and the closest spacecraft to the sun in history; by knowing that the project got its name, which is breaking records. The project’s website shows everything about the journey and the probe itself. We are sun scouts team.

Detailed Project Description

This project shows the whole journey of the Parker solar probe, its instruments, achievements, and Problems encounter during the journey in addition to explaining some of the natural phenomena encountered by the probe, All this in a way that young people can understand. The website motivates and inspires people who browse it to do more great achievements in their lives. I hope that our project, which is in a form of a full responsive website does its purpose for young people and makes them believe in themselves more and that they could achieve anything by working hard. 



In this project, we used tools such as Visual Studio Code (The Code editor). Also, the programming languages that were used in the website are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.


Note:

-The site works on all devices (desktop, laptop, iPad, phones) to be available to the largest possible category.

-This Website takes about more than 2300 code lines to be completed.

Space Agency Data

The data used the project was mainly from NASA space Agency. However, we also used information from Johns Hopkins Applied physics laboratory (APL) YouTube channel, other open data. We used many open databases to collect as we could from the clear information. We used this data to create a website contains all stages of Parker solar probe's journey to explore the sun. That data shows how struggling was the mission and the probe overcame all the obstacles on its way, which was so inspiring for us and for the people who will be browsing our website.

Hackathon Journey

It was a very good and inspiring experience actually. It made us develop ourselves in many ways. This challenge is about making young people know about the journey of the Parker solar probe, how it was so hard to get that close to the sun, and how it overcame all the problems; and that will be so motivational and inspirational for young people and will make them ready to hunt their dreams and help the humanity. Also, not to feel helpless or think that anything is impossible. Working hard and paying effort always rewards you back and by it we could overcome the problems and create such a project. I would to thank my teammates because of their work and helping each other be as we are today.
