Detailed Project Description

"What's the best way to teach younger generations about the Parker Satellite?" That was the question we were posed with during this challenge. We decided that the best way to teach in a interesting way is web comics. Children love learning, school just often educate in a boring method. Therefore, we aim to tackle this issue with comics that include lovable characters such as:
Parker - The Parker Satellite
Sol - The Sun
Venus - Venus
We sincerely believe the best way to teach is through edutainment, which are materials meant to be both enjoyable and educational. This will certainly spark an enthusiasm in the younger generations and even the older ones to learn more about one of humanity's more impressive space achievement.
We hope one day this method of teaching and learning can be practice, inspired more young generation to learn new information . We also hope this method is practice through more medium such as anime , TV show, movies and many more .
We also need to mention the following application which helped us in developing everything from video, comic , to the background music.
- ibis Paint X (illustrations )
- Shotcut (video editing)
- BandLab (music composing )
- YouTube (video sharing medium)
- Canva (comic overall design)

Hackathon Journey
JOSHUA
I learned how to compose music ,it's not the most listenable music you ever heard ,probably because I have poor taste in music. Pushing my limit is very tiring but the result is equally rewarding .
FRED
I learned that my partners are very talented and deserve a lot of credit, but we should also pace ourselves to avoid overworking and burn out. I also learned to be a better team player to contribute to the group.
MABEL
At first, it was quite a challenge as it was the first time I was exposed to digital art. The learning process was one of the struggles I had to deal with. Adding on to the challenge, I was swamped with schoolwork and had limited time on my hands. My greatest pleasure is to work with helpful and supportive teammates as well as overcome the challenges thrown along this journey.
