High-Level Project Summary
We have developed a website called "Starring". Our purpose was to visualize and enhance the quality of learning information about stars while making it fun to do so. We also included educational videos and websites that might help individuals of all ages better understand the concept of stars. We hope you enjoyed this as much as we did.

Detailed Project Description
Our website provides people with useful sites, quotes, and videos. We used graphs and gifs to help you understand better. All you have to do is to click the link above. Anyone can understand our website as it is as simple as possible. We wanted to teach curious people world-wide how stars work and how we can understand them rather easily. We gathered information from some books, NASA websites, educational videos and much more.
Space Agency Data
We used information from NASA, CSA, and ESA for various purposes. Some of the websites helped us visually, some helped us with information for our website and some helped us understand the challenge overall. It inspired us to continue even if we were at our worst.
Hackathon Journey
It was exhausting and draining even though we struggled, it provoked us to complete our project and improve our idealization. Creating this project, we learned how our universe works a little better but not completely as it is infinite. We were inspired by this challenge because of Christa McAuliffe. Seeing her story, we wanted to do a challenge about space. We decided on this one in particular. We motivated ourselves to continue this project by supporting each other. Special thanks to our team members individually for backing each other up. Also, thanks to NASA for giving us this opportunity.
