We carried out this project using the programming language in Scratch. We choosed to make a game because it is friendly for all people and specially for us children, who learn by playing. With this game, we want everyone to have fun and learn more about all topics related to space and the James Webb Telescope. We used the information we learned researching about the James Webb to make a quiz. When you answer right it gives you a point, and if you don't know all the 10 answers, you can start again, and that is the way you learn more. We created a host character named Jamie. We choosed the questions thinking about what makes this telescope so unique. It can give information about how the universe was millions of years ago, just after the Big Bang, or about how a star is born. It can take pictures from deep universe, and show us things that anybody had seen before, with small details and high quality. We liked the way the telescope looks and the way that it has been launched: folded inside Ariane 5 and then unfolded in outer space. We hope this project can continue developping: creating new levels, adding more languages, proposing periodic challenge events as new images arrive, adding a true or false quiz, designing a quiz version for blind people, and lots of other ideas we have.

We used this information from the NASA official website:

We first want to thank NASA for this great opportunity to learn something new having so much fun, and also the people at North School because they helped us a lot and they are very nice. We enjoyed this challenge weekend so much!!! We really did not know what this was all about, it was something new for us. It was a little bit difficult to start because it took us some time to understand what we had to do, but the more we tried, the more we liked it. It was nice to try a new team work experience and to meet kids from other schools and different ages. What we also liked is that our parents got involved and helped us, so at home it was also a team work experience. We all learned a lot and the more we learned, the more we wanted to know. And we teached our parents about Scratch: that was also funny.

It was amazing to discover all about light, how it travels through space and all the information it can give us about how the universe was formed, the different types of light, and that wwwwwoooooowwww we can really see things that doesn't exist anymore since billions of years or that anybody had seen before!!!!!!!!!

Presenting the project with a video was also a great challenge, something new.

We are ready for nasaspacechallenge 2023!!!!!!!!!!
