"Let's accompany Lucy"

High-Level Project Summary

In this project, a short film was developed about Lucy's exploration of Trojan asteroids. The objective is to illustrate this expedition, based on a model that was made with recyclable materials where Earth, Jupiter, Trojan asteroids and Lucy's participation are represented, through a narrative.It is important since it allows us to explain and assess the importance of the mission that Lucy will carry out, as students it has allowed us to make questions like:What remains will be found? Could we find water in those asteroids? Why do some asteroids have satellites? How will knowing the ancient remains of the solar system help us?

Detailed Project Description

Our short film allows us to explain the importance of Lucy's expedition, we hope to awaken interest in it, we use recycled material such as paper, balloons, used discs, to make a model of the Earth, Jupiter, the Trojan asteroids and Lucy, and then use it as a setting and make a narrative commenting on what the expedition to be carried out consists of. We also tried to do it using Blender, however, the short time did not allow us to complete it. A free video editor was used and it was uploaded to the youtube.com Channel, to publish it, as students this is a very valuable experience because we did not have this knowledge at hand and now we were able to access qualified information and that has allowed us to question about of the existence of the universe and also the personal one.

We would like to implement information with artistic resources then students can access this kind of information and, and most important, disseminate the information so that they can question, understand and value space.

Hackathon Journey

For us this experience is very valuable and interesting, because it has allowed us to integrate as classmates, also, to know outer space, we did not know about asteroids, neither about their importance, we imagine that it would be a very important change if begins to spread the information so that people value what we have and begin to take care of it. We thank people of different ages for this opportunity to participate. 


We would like if you can share this information in schools so that other students can dream and be inspired to carry out research and develop their creative skills.
