Space Me - Connecting Art with Science

High-Level Project Summary

Space me is a Social Media platform that faces the challenge of Turning STEM into STEAM to the average person, currently there’s lack of interactive and attractive interfaces on sharing great discoveries. To solve that problem, we came up with a social media environment that the artists post their art manifestation based on NASA´s scientific articles and the users can consume and interact with the posts being able to choose themes of interest and their favorite art manifestation.

Detailed Project Description

Our project is a Social media platform that faces the challenge of science diffusion to the average person, currently there’s lack of interactive and attractive interfaces. To solve that problem, we came up with a social media environment that the artists post their art manifestation basing on scientific nasa articles and the users can consume and interact with the posts being able to choose themes of interest and favorite art manifestation. It benefits both the artist and the scientist to engage their work and have it spread and consumed by enthusiasts of both worlds. We hope to archive the integration of this worlds in a real world situation

Space Agency Data

We used images avalable at NASA ´ s website and some where made for NASA and few partners like Australian Space Agency.

Hackathon Journey

We wanted to build something to educate people people about space and science, at first we choose a change that didnt quite fit where we where going, we search agai about the challeges and found "Turning Stem into Steam" we noticed that we had discuted about it before so we revise some notes and mixed the ideas that we already had.


The experience was amazing especially the mentors who got us to think to see new prespectives, envolvve the potencial of our platform.


We divided the group into devs and researches, the most challenging thing was to make the diferent formats of presentations for a single project.


we are thankful that we could participate on this challenge, and our group was multidicipled so we really had diferent prespectives on most situacions.
