High-Level Project Summary
We wanted to make something useful out of a simple card game, we wanted people to learn the great abilities of the biology that surrounds us, while also implementing some of the greatest challenges in space.

Detailed Project Description
Since we started the project we wanted it to be a Non-profit project. After a brainstorm we thought “What if we make something people can make themselves?” Now we thought what would be easy and cheap for anyone to make, “Well card games are cheap aren't they?” One of our members suggested.
But how much life can a card game about superheroes really get? That’s where D&D came into the table, what about not only giving the player prebuilt sceneries but giving them the opportunity to make them for themselves and exploring their creativity to their fullest.
Our intention is by giving people the full instructions of the game and all the data they could replicate at home for 28 pesos (Being a very basic form of the game). Setting a simple Google drive or site could make it inexpensive for us and make it accessible for anyone with an internet connection.
What about the players? For younger children premade stories and scenarios which are easier to solve will be available in the page, but at the same time older players being able to submit and join others to play via app like Discord or Reddit is also one of the goals.
- Why is this problem important? It is important to teach the younger generations the problems involved in traveling in space and how solutions are being actively sought.
- What are you developing? We are developing a card game. In the card game there will be eight decks of cards, each with a part of the body or an important characteristic in a living creature (they will be separated by color). The player is supposed to grab a card from each deck and create a superhero with those qualities. The player is allowed to change cards if they do not like the qualities that they grabbed.
- How does your solution solve the challenge you are working on? It allows us to do a game and the players to make their own superhero and their own solutions by critical thinking.
- Why is your solution important/relevant? Because the game doesn't just give the players a solution, it lets them think and create their own thought process.
Space Agency Data
Using NASA open data to invest
- How does your project take advantage of the use of spatial data? Seeing how different organisms have reacted to space and seeing which of its most important characteristics.
- How did the different spatial data inspire your project? We were surprised how common organisms such as flies have gone to space, but in the same way the number of animals that have died during the experiments, wanting to change this.
Hackathon Journey
It was definitly an interesting oportunity which we are very grateful for. Definetly participating again as a team.
