High-Level Project Summary
Certainly there is a complicated physics behind the stars that makes it hard for us to understand. What we aimed with this project is to make that phsics behind the starlight fun and understandable for everyone. We choose an audio-visual tool like youtube for making our project more accessible. To make it memorible we used a train methaphor that we called photons the train and light particules the passengers. We hope that our train has reached our destination.

Detailed Project Description
We wanted to reach our audience via a tool that includes both visual and audio elements to make our statements memorable. In order to explain people how dynamic the night sky is and how we are able to see the stars we explained starlight's journey to our eyes using metaphors. Since the video feels like a story telling it draws people in. We also used an example of a experiment that you can simply do with balls and a tablecloth. On of our team mates did the voice-over for the main video and the demo video. We put them together using editing programs like "MOVAVİ 2021 PLUS" and "PREMIERE PRO".

Hackathon Journey
We actually came together as a team in our school and we had a limited time to choose a challenge and create a project. So we all had to co-ordinate and adapt each other's working styles in order to create our project. Thankfully our teachers -spesificially our chemistry teacher Mrs. Ayşe- helped us a lot to keep going and being proud of our creations so the hardships we came across became elements that motivated us. Because we had very limited time it was a rush of things but we managed to work together and beared the pressure of creating a great project. Even though it was stressful we also had fun working together in this project because we discovered each other talents while everyone was putting something from them into our final creation. We hope that our work will come back to us with good things.
