Global Nominee
Space JAMM Board Game
High-Level Project Summary
We designed the board game, which allows players to build a James Webb Space Telescope. Players can collect cards that have parts of the telescope on them. Moving forward in the game is possible by answering questions about JWST. By playing this game players will get to know about the capabilities and performance of NASA’s JWST, through question cards, that have answers on them. The game is funny, engaging and interesting way to get information about James Webb Space Telescope.

Detailed Project Description
Description of the game:
The ultimate goal of the game is to build and launch the James Webb Space Telescope.
The game starts from the "Launch" box. The player rolls two dice.
All players have a house of 200 GEL.
Laboratory A sitting player can purchase a laboratory for 150 GEL. If caught and used by someone else, the toy pays 200. The player can purchase all three labs.
The satellite part is 50 GEL.
The fifth part can only be obtained by buying it after obtaining all the other parts or by answering the hardest question.
All 5 parts can be bought before buying the lab, but without buying/buying the lab the satellite cannot be assembled.
At the time of landing on the part of the satellites, if the players do not have the right to the tray and continues the game.
The grant applicant must answer a question of appropriate difficulty.
Obstacles:
- Lightning: There's a power outage in the lab. Go back and fix it, or answer the question, or pay 50 GEL. In case of choosing the answer to the question if he is responsible/not issued a fine of 100 L.
- Bomb explosion: The laboratory and the structure inside it are destroyed. The game starts over (from launch).
150 L will be given to the participating player.
Benefits and achievement:
By playing this game players will get to know about the capabilities and performance of NASA’s JWST, through question cards, that have answers on them. The game is funny, engaging and interesting way to get information about James Webb Space Telescope.

Hackathon Journey
Throughout our project learned new details about JWST. The was chosen because for our team it was more interesting than other projects. We decided to make a board game to approach the challenge, as it is an interesting and a new way to spread information. We would like to thank NASA and JWST in particular for providing fascinating pictures and information.
