High-Level Project Summary
We designed a board game to explore space travel stresses, discover how varied animals deal with these challenges, and then develop a "Space Biology Superhero" by mixing traits from these organisms. The user (players) can go through the hardships of space travel while also learning new facts about species. This is significant because it may be used to help youngsters grasp the problems of space in an entertaining way, as well as to spark their enthusiasm in space exploration.

Detailed Project Description
According to the research, any other technique or application of going through the data is uninteresting and causes the user to quit, however games are the greatest option since they allow the users to participate and interact. It piques the curiosity of individuals of all ages.
As a result, it is the ideal technique to understand and even memorise about all the huddles of space!
We created a board game to examine the pressures of space flight, learn how different creatures deal with these problems, and then create a "Space Biology Superhero" by combining attributes from various organisms. The user (players) may experience the difficulties of space travel while learning new information about species. This is crucial because it may be used to assist children understand space challenges in a fun way, as well as to pique their interest in space travel.
How to play?
Starting from space station to the journey of exciting adventures. Players will roll the dice one time andmove thier pawn, if it lands on:
- Points(180,20,100) then note and keep adding your points, these will help you to purchase organisms.
- If it lands on stresses, then pick a card from stresses deck. The deck contains the stresses of space such as raditaion, microgravity etc.Since you will have one of these, it will help you to get out of the relevent stress zone or you can skip 2 turns or pay with points (100).
- If it lands on organism, pick a card from organism and if you want the organism you can have it by paying with points you collected.Deduct the points of the selected organism from your log and keep the card by yourself through out the game. If you don’t have enough points or don’t want to purchase so you can keep the card back below the deck of organisms.
We used photoshop and illustrator to create the project.
Space Agency Data
We have used Nasa resuorce library and other links provided in resouces , links are in the resources , from there we have collected pictures , names and characteristics of organisms.
Hackathon Journey
As newcomers to Atomware, we were sceptical at first, but eager to explore how far our talents might lead us. Choosing the task was an important aspect of our trip, and we selected Space Superhero. We discovered that games are the greatest way to portray data after doing research. Beginning work on our project was difficult because we needed to discover and comprehend the material that is now being presented as a solution to the problem.
