High-Level Project Summary
we developed a mobile app that provides policymakers with the training and data in an easy-to-use way so that they could benefit from the EO tools available and find the relevant data which will help them make more informed decisions and provide them with the ability to search for any topic and track their progress into that topic and if they want to suggest any course or training they could easily do that and we managed to do so by connecting them to the training that was provided by space agencies and academic institutions.

Detailed Project Description
we made a mobile application using the javascript framework react native and expo so that it would be accessible by both ios and android users. and we provide in that application the EO training grouped by each section and level of difficulty and the ability to search for any piece of information. and provide the graphs and data by the victory-native library. and we are storing the data in a JSON file that will be automatically downloaded to the client device the first time they open the app and then all of their progress is saved in that file
future work:
We will create a login system that will enable users to publish courses and create an upvoting system for users and we will store all of that data in a MongoDB database

Hackathon Journey
Our hackathon trip was full of effort, fun, and stress, it was full of experience and knowledge more about our planet and everything that happens on it and about it.
We started by forming our distinguished team with all its members with their experience and abilities, then we started looking for our own challenge that is suitable for us and in which we can put all our effort and energy.
After a period of discussions and meetings, we chose Capacity Building Resources Getaway
We found it appropriate for us, through which we will help a lot of people and decision-makers in the country who are facing problems and cannot find a solution to them due to the lack of a portal that provides them with reliable and useful training on Earth observation skills.
We started by choosing the name of the team that expresses the role we will play and designing the logo.
Then by researching more and getting to know more about our challenge and discussing every information we reach.
Until we reached the issuance of an application that helps all professionals of various disciplines and levels to access the appropriate training for them to apply Earth observation in their lives.
We were one in all tasks. We encountered many problems while programming our application, but we overcame them thanks to our cooperation. There were some difficulties in accessing reliable sources, but we relied on the NASA space agency sources that provided us, and they made it easier for us and we worked on facilitating them in order to be more easy to learn. by the user.
After she finished our application, we started trying it out and choosing the appropriate name.
We have also added some features that we will work on developing in the future to make our application more unique.
We are grateful for every moment of the hackathon period, it taught us a lot and made us overcome many of the problems we faced. It was a really exciting experience that we hope to repeat always.
