High-Level Project Summary
Climate panda is a mobile game that utilizes NASA's climate change data to educate people. First We collected the data to build a predictive model by machine learning. Then we designed an interactive data-driven mobile game using Flutter. In this strategic game, users will learn about the impacts of climate change through statistical data and by making the right decision. If it's too hot then what, buy an AC or plant a tree? The decisions made by the user will update the statistics and gives a detailed description. By reading, analyzing & playing, users of age 10 to 60 will learn about climate change. This user interaction and applied statistics will increase the awareness of Climate change.

Detailed Project Description
Climate panda is a mobile game that utilizes NASA's climate change data to educate people. The climatic change has become a global concern over the last few decades and has various impacts on the ecosystem and ecology. First We collected the data to build a predictive model by machine learning.
hen we designed an interactive data-driven mobile game using Flutter. In this strategic game, users will learn about the impacts of climate change through statistical data and by making the right decision. If it's too hot then what, buy an AC or plant a tree? The decisions made by the user will update the statistics and gives a detailed description. By reading, analyzing, and playing, users of age 10 to 60 will learn about climate change. Learning is a scientific process that includes vision, sound, and practice. We combined this three and designed an interactive learning app where users will learn through stories, statistics, and making decisions. This user interaction and applied statistics will increase the awareness of Climate change.
> Users can select a place to take action. The highlighted areas on the map need immediate action.
Users can also search places on the search bar. The searched location will be pointed on the map.
> Find out the problems the particular area is facing and click to read more.
> The detailed description and statistics of the problem will help you learn about the impacts of climate change. Click the right-down corner to predict the future situation.
> Every problem has different tracks and every track is a new challenge. Select a track to play and solve problems.
> Users can select among different characters. There are many fun and exciting characters.
> Make the right decision for a problem and earn points. Don't worry if you get it wrong. The app will provide much information to teach you and make a better decision next time.
> The trained machine learning model will predict the future situation based on the previous data.
A recent report from the United Nations predicted that the average global temperature could increase by 6˚ Celsius at the end of the century. The ocean level is rising, glaciers are melting, CO2 in the air is increasing, forest and wildlife are declining, and water life is also getting disturbed due to climatic changes. If we do not do anything and things continue to go on like right now then a day in the future will come when humans will become extinct from the surface of the earth. To reach out to a huge population, we need a smart approach. Around 83% of the world population uses smartphones and there are more than 1.3 billion active mobile game users only in Asia. So, we grabbed this opportunity and designed a mobile game to educate this huge audience. Anyone between the age of 10 to 60 will learn from our app and that will be our greatest achievement.

Hackathon Journey
We had an amazing time completing the SpaceApps challenge this year. We all discovered the joy in it while coding up something for a very important project! While we all worked on different parts, it was really satisfying to reach the end when we finally got our platform to produce fantastic results. What most inspired us to choose this challenge was the impact we saw it would have on children, and we felt that if we had got a cool and informative game as children, we would have been more curious about these important topics, and it is exactly what we want to generate in these new generations.
