James Webb - Fun learning

High-Level Project Summary

We believe that science should be accessible and inclusive, with simple and fun languageIn our country, few young people have access to scientific educationSome of the reasons are:- The government does not encourage the production of science- Only 5% of the population speaks English- Science is closed to the academic worldTo help reduce this impact and encourage our young people to become scientists, we decided to create a user-friendly app that teaches about the James Webb telescope and astronomy, and with a quiz mini-game for the user to test their knowledge, generating scores and rankings.It's the way we found to encourage science in our country =)

Hackathon Journey

The experience at Space Apps was incredible, I was able to network and the entire team was willing to help and answer questions


I was able to learn, mainly, the power of working in a team and that we must always work for a greater purpose


We believe in the challenge because we believe in the idea of making scientific knowledge accessible and we decided to use James Webb, one of the most incredible and innovative technologies, as inspiration


I 'm extremely grateful to all my team
