High-Level Project Summary
We made the asteroids and the scenes using 3D modelling software and included explanatory text in the final video. Although the project is dependent on scientific articles, it is more memorable for viewers due to the fact that they can see the asteroids and appreciate the scenes; they are not just reading a scientific article.

Detailed Project Description
We think that our project helps people to learn about Trojans in an easy way. It leaves a memorable video so that the next time they see the word Trojan, our work can occur to them, and help them recall the information.
Please understand the fact that the scenes are depicted more in an artistic manner, rather than in a scientifically accurate way. The sizes and distances in the video are not to scale. The scenes were made with aesthetics in mind, to create a more pleasant experience for the viewer.
We used Blender to create the scenes. Capcut video editing program was used to add text to the video. We considered adding simple background music/ambience to the video, but could not due to insufficient time. Finally, we used Powerpoint to create a project demo.

It allowed us to collect accurate information about the Trojan asteroids.
Hackathon Journey
It was exhausting but really fun. We practiced our skills and acquired new knowledge about space. We considered all of the challenges and decided to do a project which does not require skills that would be too hard to learn in the available time frame. In the end, we decided to do 3D modelling. We worked as a team to resolve the problems we faced. We thank each member of our team, and we thank those who introduced us to the Space Apps Challenge in the first place.
