High-Level Project Summary
Webb Journey is an educational game in a quiz format. The system of achivements and rewards is aimed at keeping players entertained and motivated. After a wrong answer, the additional information with correct answer is shown, so players can learn about this. Through our game, we hope to show people that space is not something out of reach: everyone can become a part of the space community.

Detailed Project Description
Our project helps players to learn about JWST through short quiz.
For every correct answer, the user progresses through game tasks, which represent the Telescope's mission steps. However, with three wrong answers, the user loses the game. There is also a special reward - a random picture made by JWST - for completing all tasks. These interactions will keep users involved, so they can learn more about the Telescope.
There are many people these days who belive that money spent on space missions is wasted money. Our main goal is to show these people that space is beatiful and worth exploring.
Space Agency Data
We used webb.nasa.gov for searching for the facts about the Telescope to include to the quiz.

We had quite a lot of work to do. In order to do everything in time, we made a work plan for everyone. We split into pairs to have different views and ideas on the same things. Thanks to this, we worked as efficiently as possible. When we finished part of the work, we all evaluated and searched for drawbacks together.
