High-Level Project Summary
Nowadays people don't prefer reading long articles for learning something new.So we combined two things to tell the story of Parker Solar Probe :One's comics and one's the story of our project.It's fun and innovative way to learn how hard it's to create a probe that we called "the one that touched the solar". So in this comics we 'll tell you how Parker Solar Probe dealed with everything by showing the power of art.

Detailed Project Description
We are SpaceZoom+ team that all of the members are highschoolers who are students of scientists class in our school.We love innovative way of learning and that's what we are looking for.Innovation should be part of our lives in this century so we tried to emphasize it and how you can teach science by using art.
AIM OF OUR PROJECT
Being interested in science might be tiring.Because it contains lots of articles , datas, subjects to learn about.So space subject goes same for it.Also it might be boring to read long articles which is normal.About that issue we chose an effective way to tell the story of Parker Solar Probe.It's combining storytelling and comics.
HOW WE DESIGNED IT?
We turned our paperwork to digital art which is fun way to do! Reading comics are popular nowadays since famous comics that we enjoyed in our childhood came out.Because of that fact , we decided the way of storytelling by art.
STRUCTURE OF THE STORY
It all starts with two NASA interns for not turning their attention to their guide. It seems that the interns are too hungry to wait for the tour to end . And their guide is determined to teach them a lesson for their irresponsible actions...
So the guide's decision is telling them a story of Parker Solar Probe which was a real hero of the space.
With help of the story,we tried to create a slice of life theme.By pointing of the hardness about the journey of Parker Solar Probe, we wanted to make people realize the difficulties about space work and gaining datas about the sun.If you guys wondering about the lunch time issue first you have to learn about our main problem Parker Solar Trobe.
PROCESS OF DRAWING
Our project's art theme is semi realism. The reason behind it is that we thought semi realism is an pure effect for intelligibility of the drawings and lines.By coloring it, we turned our drawings to a real comic culture.
Space Agency Data
HOW WE USED THE DATAS ?
We tried the learn spesific subjects about Sun's corona a.k.a upper atmosphere.That's where Far From Home,Close to Sun name comes from and the main idea of our comic strip.We added the article's main idea how this probe which is close enough to gain datas from the sun.With help of the Venus' gravity which NASA told us about the Parker Solar Probe's orbit's actions ; we pictured it with our comic and put a little description about it.
Our comic's also has a information about the shield protects the surface of probe and the density work on space.Shortly,we used the datas we need about the mechanism of probe and transferred into the little drawings of us.We ony used datas that NASA gave to us and they all were enough for every little sentence we tried to describe.
Hackathon Journey
WHY WE CHOSE THIS CHALLENGE?
Our team, loved the theme of drawing and combining two things to make people understand everyone can share the science with others by using limited sources like us.We knew that we would be tired end of the day but could show how we can achieve the main purpose without any help.
OUR EXPERIENCES IN SPACE APPS
First,it was hard to challenge in limited time which is really short and hard for us.Our team was exhausted of overworking but always had an excitement of being in an international challenge.We never lost our hope and never will!
We want to thank to ourselves because we're happy to put something that might be helpful for people to understand background of Parker Solar Trobe.
