High-Level Project Summary
To answer this challenge, we have edited a guide that we could call a pedagogical guide, a framework to follow to teach or learn about stellar variability, accompanied by a PowerPoint that we have made as an example. The challenge was solved in this way because learning directly what stellar variability is and what is around it is not at all easy when you are directly confronted with it. With this in mind, we decided to make learning more fun.

Detailed Project Description
Our project consists of two documents: a PowerPoint and a text document. We worked by putting ourselves in the shoes of these students by asking questions such as: how do I want to learn this? and others.... The benefits of this are numerous as it helps the learners to see and understand the subject better.
We used Microsoft PowerPoint as our software. The NASA data also allowed us to deepen our knowledge and to make good visualizations.
Space Agency Data
The data from the different space agencies such as NASA, ESA, CSA have been very useful to us. First, these data allowed us to learn more about the types of variable stars, the internal functioning of stars and to visualize the evolution of the luminosity as a function of time for many categories of variable stars. These data also allowed us to do visualization in a precise way in order to perfect the method developed in our project.
Hackathon Journey
We would say that these days have been full of learning since we have learned other notions. What inspired us to choose this challenge is the stars. All of us are passionate about the stars, their life cycle and everything related to them. We have chosen an educational approach as our challenge pushes us towards learning.
