Global Nominee
build a space biology superhero
High-Level Project Summary
We are aiming to design a superhero of space biology through an entertaining and educational card game to explore space.We are trying to create two types of cards: one displays fundamental biological characteristics of spaceflightwhile the other tells us about the properties of the various organisms that adapt to this environment.The game starts by choosing a planet card randomly then we share the other cards that describe the properties of the organisms, If the participates have at least one given characteristic of the planet, he passes to the next turn, otherwise,he loseAll of this is in order to obtain a superhero model that can resist most planetsdisplays participant losesto

Detailed Project Description
Our passion is space exploration and space flights. For this reason we have chosen this challenge that allows us to inform users about space travel stresses and to create a "space biology superhero" by combining the characteristics of organisms and the environmental constraints in space.
No one can deny that most participants will automatically think of a digital platform, whether it be a website, a computer game, or any other format that meets the objectives.
So, we decided to make an exception and invent an analog solution : a card game.
We filtered the resources given in this challenge in order to extract useful data whose purpose is to realize our idea, we shared the tasks and began the realization.
We agreed on the rules that we can follow along with this game (detailed in the drive).
We tried to create two types of cards (using Adobe Illustrator): one presents the basic biological characteristics of the planet, while the other one tells us about the properties of the different organisms that adapt to this environment.
The game begins with randomly selecting a planet card, then we share the other cards that describe the properties of the organisms.
If the participant has at least one given characteristic of the planet, he/she moves on to the next round, otherwise, he/she loses.
All this is done in order to obtain a superhero model that can withstand most planets.
Space Agency Data
Based on the results of the experiments given in the Nasa resources we select the characteristics that we have to use in the cards knowing that space exploration involve overcoming many stresses, one of them is the access to medical care, which is a danger for an astronaut that we can find through the NASA resource we can also use the resources of the Canadian space agency with the help of two files that are:Report of the CSA on the health care in the deep space
and Effects of Space on the Human Body (CSA)
Hackathon Journey
It was a wonderful experience that allowed us to :
-Innovation, and more affinities, that is to say, to give birth to good ideas.
-to identify talents, to bring to light unexploited skills
-share tasks and time
-work in groups
-Find different solutions to a problem: Sometimes, the daily routine consumes us. However, the resources you invest to solve minor issues and put on fires are completely different.
-Inspir and motivate your team: members tend to easily get demotivated.
I would like to thank all the organization team for all their effort and support
during this hackathon Nasa international space apps challenge
