High-Level Project Summary
We developed the use of data and made everything about COVID available to the user. It will provide the user with covid-19 risk warnings, all the information that he needs about the virus, which will raise social awareness and it will reduce the number of infected people.

Detailed Project Description
Our project is a smartphone application that provides the user with all the information they need about COVID-19, Symptoms, Causes, Complications, Prevention, Risk Factors, etc. Each category has a button. If the user wants to know some information about symptoms, all he has to do is to click the symptoms button (every button has its name on it) and so on.
• It keeps social distance. We associated our application with another one to enable the user to keep social distance. If the user wants to measure the distance, all he has to do is click the button "Social Distance". It will take him to the Apple store (in the case of the application not being installed on his phone). And now he can easily know the distance.
• It shows the user all the hospitals which are close to them, so it will be very easy for them to know where they should go to take the vaccine. He can view that by clicking the button "Map", he will automatically find his location and all the hospitals which are close to him.
• There is also something like an alarm. Its mission is to remind the user by notifying him with a message he entered before. For example, if the person is going out at a certain time, he will enter his message and write down what he wants in this message. Maybe it will be a reminder to take his mask and gloves and he will set the time that he wants the application that notify him with the message. And when the time comes, the message will be sent automatically as a notification to remind him.
• The user can benefit from our application without an internet connection.
• Our application is considered like a detailed document to anyone who wants to know all the information about coronavirus.
• It provides the user with the map, which will make it easy for him to know his destination.
• It provides measuring distance with the help of another application.
• The user can take notes anytime he wants by writing or recording and ask the application to send him notification with the message whenever he sets. The application saves that user's notes so he can go back to these notes anytime he wants.
• It also protects users' privacy. It doesn't keep users' data.
We hope to continue to compete to the end.
- We used in our project Android studio, HTML, and Java programming language.
Space Agency Data
We used data from the CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY in our project and it was helpful. For example, it provided us with data about COVID-19 symptom, prevention, which we applied in our project. It also inspired us by "COVID Alert" to come up with a new idea that helps the user to get notified whenever they decide, to take precautionary measures. Also, COVID Data Tracker CDC: provided us with the rest of our information. And if we wanted to make sure of any information, we would visit the COVID Data Tracker CDC: . Actually, this data is a treasure. We are thankful to all the space agencies for making this gorgeous information available to anyone at anytime without any permission. It's such an amazing thing.
Hackathon Journey
For me personally, if I would describe my space apps experience in one word, I would say it was unbelievable. From my journey in space apps, I learnt a lot of lessons. I learnt what it means to work in a team. The amount of valuables that I gained means the world to me. That was one of my personal reasons for participating in this competition. I learnt how to control myself when I'm stressed and so on.
What inspired our team to choose this challenge is because we wanted to help the world. No matter how many people will benefit from our application, it will be a benefit. A benefit means a change. This change can save a person's life.
First, we came up with the idea of the app. We designed its shape and what it would look like. Then, we started to suggest new ideas and we discussed them. Unfortunately, we had lots of problems with most of the ideas over time, but we still thought till the hackathon. We did the idea of social distance, and the idea of google maps. And in the end, we came up with the alarm idea.
As I said before, we faced a lot of problems with most of the ideas. But we were able to beat that. We resolved setbacks and challenges by working together and supporting each other. The hackathon wasn't easy, so in my opinion, reaching here is such an accomplishment.
In the end, I would like to thank myself. Because although the setbacks that I faced just to be part of this space app, I did it. Actually, NASA Space Apps for me doesn't mean a competition that I want to win or just a certificate I want to get. But it's a dream, my childhood dream. I'm obsessed with NASA in general, because my dream is to be an Astronaut and work there. It sounds crazy, but I love it, and I believe I'm myself that I can do it. I have no idea why I mentioned that, it's far away from the subject. But maybe it's my passion. Either way, I couldn't be silent.
