High-Level Project Summary
The goal of our project is to increase the level of awareness of people of different ages in the sphere of the influence of space on the human body. We decided to achieve this by creating a platform that will help users learn about a number of problems that accompany humans in space and learn how to solve them. We implemented this with the help of a bot-guide, which acquaints people with confirmed scientific information about changes in the state of the organism in space, and a fictional super creature, on the example of which the best possible adaptation of a living organism to extreme conditions is shown.

Detailed Project Description
Our project provides information about human existence in space and demonstrates a fictional creature well adapted to such an environment. When visiting the site, the user is provided with general information with the help of a robot guide.
The biggest advantage of our resource is ensuring awareness and, as a result, people's interest in this topic.
With the help of our platform, we hope to provide basic enlightenment to people about the possibility of life in space, increase the interest of the general population and attract the attention of potential users and investors.
We used Visual Code, Figma, Adobe Photoshop, Inkscape, PowerPoint to develop this project.
The coding language is Java Script.
Space Agency Data
Our project is a test version of a full-fledged system, created in the form of a site with simple but true information about changes in the human body in space. Our main goal is to make the site as accessible, interesting and suitable for improvement as possible. We are interested in providing the most truthful and verifiable information that can be checked at any time.
Due to the influence of pop culture on this topic, many people have misconceptions about the capabilities of the human body and the appearance of extraterrestrial life.
Our goal is to provide the user with truthful information on this topic, which is why we have actively used data from NASA research.
In particular, to create a fantastic space creature. We took the character from the popular sci-fi animated series Futurama, which had many scientists working on it, and refined it and made it more livable with the knowledge collected by NASA over many years of work.
We changed the structure of the creature's body and provided it with the most beneficial functions for existence in space, based on the experience of space travel of real people, which is described on the website of NASA and partners.
We took information for our project from the articles The Human Body in Space from NASA, Life in Space from the European Space Agency, Health in Space from the Japan Space Agency
Based on them, we selected the most necessary information for selection and analyzed it to create a perfect creature.
Hackathon Journey
The experience of using Space Apps gave us the opportunity to develop, learn new areas of work with information and work in a team.
We learned about large-scale worldwide projects that allow people to express themselves in the creation of ideas and help with their development.
We found it interesting to study the reaction of the human body to such a stressful environment, and we were also attracted by the opportunity to fantasize about the appearance and functions of a creature that could exist in such a space.
Our approach to the subject of the project was based on the analysis of materials about the impact of outer space on the human body and the desire to create a viable but intelligent being.
Our team is based on friendship and mutual respect, so all setbacks and challenges were resolved through constructive dialogue and hard work.
We would like to thank our teacher Diduk Vitaly Andriyovych, who informed us about this event and supported and accompanied us in every way
