High-Level Project Summary
What I developed is a video game that educates people about the James Webb telescope and other Major historical telescopes used till this day, The game's main concern as the challenge states is to show how the James Webb telescope Capabilities and that's exactly what I did, but the way I did it is in a fun interactive way so that it can help anyone from any age learn about the James Webb telescope and other Historical telescope's , why I think this video game is important is because it teaches about the wonders of the sky in a captivating and challenging way that it does not even feel like learning, it will also inspire children that play this game to know more about space science.

Detailed Project Description
The project I made, is mainly a video game that has 2 games inside of it, one is a card memory game which teaches the users about the different telescope's in the world and the other is a quiz game which teaches about the different images taken by many of the worlds most known telescopes, aside from that it has a learn section were we can learn detailed information about different telescopes, the benefits it has is that anyone can learn from this game and learning section of this games, the thing I want to achieve is to make younger kids and even adults passionate and interested in the Science of Astronomy, The platform I used is called Unity and a bit of code written inside of it using c#.
Space Agency Data
Since my work is a video game I have not used Data in this Project what I have Done is use Images and some 3D files from the NASA 3D resources library (www.nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/models), which is also listed in the Reference section.
Hackathon Journey
My Hackathon Journey was Amazing this year, I learned a lot from my last participation and it helped me improve my work more and see how well I perform under pressure, aside from being a challenge the hackathon made me realize a lot about my self and I am grateful for it!!!!
