High-Level Project Summary
This project will help the user to reach nearby hospitals. It also helps the user to know more about the importance of the vaccine, its types, and its side effects. This project provides the user with information about the steps to apply for the vaccine correctly. Additionally, it provides the user with information about how COVID-19 affected the economy, the environment, and society. With this app, the user can identify the places where COVID-19 spread all over the world. We built an app that collects all information that the user asks google for. That app will help to facilitate finding information that they need without a lot of searching and getting them from untrusted resources.

Detailed Project Description
Our app is a way for the user to find all the information that they need. it just facilitates the searching process on them and collects all the information they need about COVID-19, the vaccine and other related questions about these topics. We built our app and designed it in an easy way that enables any person to use it. that app has some benefits like providing all possible information that they need, know if the user has corona or not by asking them some questions and medical ID to follow their health status.
the app will first be in Egypt then it will be modified to be worldwide. we hope to build an app that has all possible trusted information, helping people to know the correct way to apply for vaccines and helping people in their journey of treatment from COVID-19. Although we didn't achieve a lot in our app, those are features we would like to provide our app with. we would like this app to be a gift and a way of convenience to humanity as we suffer a lot in this pandemic.
The tool that we use to build our application is MIT App Inventor(App builder). this app builder helps us to design our app because we do not know a lot of information about programming. in the future, we build our App with Flutter to be more interactive.
Space Agency Data
We used the data provided by Nasa space agency, the data collected by Earth-observing satellites. Which focus on investigating COVID-related changes in the Earth system and discoveries throughout the pandemic and beyond. This inspired us to give our app a feature which is having access to a map, this map will show some data about nearby infected cases and high concentration regions furthermore nearby hospitals.
Hackathon Journey
The journey of this hackathon was really useful and entertaining. We chose a very important challenge that affects our life nowadays. Our discussion about the challenge was really useful and full of humane as we put ourselves in people's shoes and thought about the difficulty they faced to know all possible information about COVID-19 and the vaccine. So, we decided to make an app that helps them and provides them with all trusted information. Some of us just know a little about programming, however, we all searched about a possible way to start and build our app correctly. We believe that we can in the future develop this app and make it much better and provide it with more possibilities, like put access to nearby hospitals and the possibility of sensing and exploring corona around the user.
