Explaining How Different Organisms Respond to the Space Conditions

High-Level Project Summary

We think it is important to have a good understanding of how different organisms respond to the space environment and if these organisms share these reponses. In order to accomplish that, we have prepared an informative essay. We hope, by reading our essay people will understand how organisms react to the space conditions and which features from these organisms we can gather in one single organism to create a "biological superhero"!

Detailed Project Description

In our project we aimed to inform people about the troubles of space traveling and how different organisms deal with those troubles. We gathered information from reliable USA based sources. We prepared our project in an understandable language so that people from all ages can understand! We used Movavi Video Editor,Canva, Google Docs, Canva and Blogger in the process of making this project. 

Space Agency Data

We only used data from NASA.

Hackathon Journey

This is event was such a great experience for us. Unfortunately we couldn't be there phisically for the event but on the 1st of October we met up at one of our teammates house and we worked on our project for hours but we also didn't forget to have so much fun and eat pizza! We joined this challenge knowing it wouldn't be easy but we think we did a pretty good job! We want to thank our teachers who helped us throughout this journey and Antalya's local lead Selman Canlı and his team.

Spiders in space: Without gravity, light becomes key to orientation

Humans have taken spiders into space more than once to study the importance of gravity to their web-building. What originally began as a somewhat unsuccessful PR experiment for high school students has yielded the surprising insight that light plays a larger role in arachnid orientation than previously thought.
