High-Level Project Summary
According to statistics, when people play a game, they perceive information better and remember it. Based on this, we made our project. The essence of the project is a game with a useful learning process. An educational game that tells about interesting facts and properties of tardigrades. During the game, the user learns how the tardigrade survives in extreme conditions. The first part of the game is about the history of our superhero, and the second part is about saving people from radiation by absorbing it. It's important because of the fact, that one day we will be in need to move to a new planet. Our game is created to grow people's interest in this unique creature for future science.

Detailed Project Description
To develop the project, I used C# .NET technologies as well as the Unity engine. Using clean code and sorting folders in the project. Also code is divided into regions.
Space Agency Data
Because our product is a game, there is no need to use NASA API. We only used NASA's open-source article and podcast about Tardigrade. Here it is:
Hackathon Journey
First of all, it was an unforgettable experience for all of us. Starting from looking for team members and picking a challenge ending with solving coding problems, we did an incredible job.
We chose "BUILD A SPACE BIOLOGY SUPERHERO" challenge. The reason why we picked it was our wish to make a cool game that is based on actual scientistic facts. And we did it. By doing this project, we learned, studied, and read a lot of articles, and watched tons of videos on youtube about tardigrade and open space conditions.
We divided our team and each member of our team has his own role.
