Created a website that tells people about how different organisms deal with microgravity. the project tells the people, it is an easily accessable. to increase the basic knowledge of people regarding space. better learning material for society. word press.

we used links which were given by the website that helped us polish our ideas

the hackathon journey united us to explore and create new ideas to choose this challenge. this challenge is related to our field
