High-Level Project Summary
Not everyone has the ability to manage data. Due to the volume of information and the complexity of the language, many users opt to ignore its content, preventing the message from reaching all users.Data information regarding the damage of climate change on the artics poles is frequently ignored by the general public. BOREAL seeks to convey the information obtained in databases in a way that is easier to access, faster to read, and simpler to understand.We used data from the Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) to demonstrate how the Arctic poles and surrounding regions are being impacted by climate change; and how transcendent in history these impacts can be.

Detailed Project Description
BOREAL is an app based on informing the public about the effects of climate change in the Arctic boreal regions in a way that the information is easy to understand for the general public.
The app presents articles on how climate change understandably impacts various arctic-boreal areas. By clicking on the section that displays an image and a description of what each article contains, you may access the entire contents of the item that interests you.
We accomplish our goal of educating the public about this subject with simplified material, enabling people who struggle with specific terminologies to understand the information provided.
When it comes to developing the app, we used Android studios, visual code, CSS, and js, as well as other programs for the graphic and aesthetic part of the project.
Space Agency Data
For our project, we used The Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE), a NASA Terrestrial Ecology Program campaign conducted in Alaska and western Canada to help us understand how climate change is affecting Earth’s the Arctic and Boreal regions.
Between all the options, as a team, we gravitated more towards it and wanted to find a way to make everything obtained in its database reach more people. References to the program can be seen throughout the application, such as the name, logo, video, and details on the app itself.
Hackathon Journey
Between jokes and WhatsApp stickers, long hours of meetings, and many ideas, we were able to develop this incredible project and at the same time live one of the best experiences of our lives.
We chose the Take Flight challenge because we knew we could highlight our abilities and have fun in the process. Many challenges stepped in our way but we looked for a way to move forward as a team.
We hope as many people can benefit from this project and love it as much as we do!
