High-Level Project Summary
Our scheme “Parker to Sun” is intended to enrich people‘s knowledge about the purpose of Parker Solar Probe(PSP) being created and the tasks it has to complete. We put all the information about PSP onto cards in an easy-to-understand way and make its route into a map for players to play. We hope players can learn the knowledge points of PSP and the sunshine through this unprecedented board game.

Detailed Project Description
Our board game is designed for 7+ age people. We get inspired by the journey of the Parker Solar Probe since 2018 and create this board game. Since we are interested in board games, we decided to express it in the form of board games.
The game is full of fun and it is simple to learn to play. When people play the game, they can learn some knowledge about Parker Solar Probe(PSP) and Sun. Game props include 4×2 PSP models, 27 equipment cards, 19 challenge cards, 42 data cards, one dice and a game board. We put some secret details into our game, such as the lap counter representing PSP will get closer to the Sun every lap, and the gravitational zone represents the gravitational effect of Venus on PSP. Other details can be found by the player while they enjoy themselves in the game. This is our hard work for these two days, so we hope everyone can enjoy themselves in this game.

Hackathon Journey
First of all, our team express our greatest thanks to NASA for providing this golden opportunity to students from all over the world to participate in this global space app challenge. We are also very grateful to the Sarawak government for supporting our Sarawakians to take part in this challenge. It is a brand new experience for us as we never have completed a large project within two days.
The Sarawak Government held a workshop in our school on 27 September 2022. In this workshop, we were inspired by the special journey of the Paker Solar Probe told by Mr Teo. In this 48 hours challenge, we learn about the importance of teamwork. As the saying goes, many hands make light work. In the project we have made in the past two days, this achievement is really not something that can be accomplished by one person, but must be achieved through the efforts of everyone in our team.
