Detailed Project Description
We decided to make a didactic game in html to probe further the capabilities of the James Webb telescope, and compare to other telescopes, like the Hubble and the Spitzer telescopes. And make 3 different difficulties, easy normal and hard, easy is to make a puzzle with NASA images, Normal is a game with 2 images and you have to choose if the 2 images are from the same telescope, and hard, where you will see an image of the space and you will have to pick between 3 options of various telescopes.
Space Agency Data
We just used NASA´s provided resources for our project, taking as inspiration the ideas given in the details of the chalenge, like the puzzle or the quiz. For both ideas we attached pictures and images from the resources
Hackathon Journey
That was an intense experience because of the short time we got to make a functional, interactive and didactic app to show how perfect the James Webb telescope is. We learnt about some new tools on the web development
