James Webb Mission

High-Level Project Summary

We made a fun game to teach young people about the James Webb Telescope. Our main game is divided into two rounds. The first one is a shooting game that simulates space. There are obstacles and asteroids to affect outer space. The James Webb Telescope avoids the challenges and fires the rocks. The second game is a puzzle game. All of us know that puzzles increase the IQ of kids. We put a picture of the James Webb Telescope in the form of a puzzle to make them know the shape and picture of the telescope. We also made a Google form to ask the people about their opinions on our game, and we asked them to suggest recommendations to improve our project.

Detailed Project Description

Centuries ago, humans’ curiosity forced them to gaze at space more and more. To further their understanding, they developed many instruments. But no instrument gives them as accurate as telescopes. We are all proud of the accomplishments of the most excellent telescope ever built, known as Hubble. Still, because it relied on visible light, we had to create a new, even greater telescope that is intended to deepen our understanding of space, time, and the Big Bang. Over 30 years and with $10 Billion currency, the telescope has been built, tested, and launched to start its mission. Scientists from all fields collaborated to make this great edifice using rare elements and huge industries. The final results of this telescope are promising compared to the Hubble telescope. These great expectations are due to its dependence on infrared radiation to take images.

We have benefited from a lot of information about James Webb’s play, as quick information about him when it was launched, how much money it cost, and all the parameters that we put in the game about James Webb we collected from these sites

Hackathon Journey

We went to the hackathon and attended the two days and completed the work on our project and made many modifications.

And we gained a lot of experience
