High-Level Project Summary
Our project is an illustrative website. It provides information about NASA's main five science areas in an innovative, exciting way using videos, pictures, and illustrations ending by showing the strong connection (by giving an example on this connection) between these science areas in a creative way. Our project aims to simplify the complicity of what is known as NASA's science and proving the strong connection between its divisions so that different types of communities can understand it easily with giving them an impression that science is fun and easy.

Detailed Project Description
We made an interactive illustrative website that contains lots of illustrations, videos, and pictures helping to simplify our content in many different creative ways showing the connection between NASA's Science areas by briefly introducing each. it is built to attract people’s interest to NASA’s science categories, which are mainly divided into five main areas (categories): Earth Science, Heliophysics, Astrophysics, Physical and Biological Science, and Planetary Science (all of them are under NASA’s Science Mission Directorate). It also focuses on helping understanding these categories in more detail (proving that they are strongly connected), how they integrate, and their importance through providing an example on this connection for a better understanding of the Universe and the Solar System that our planet Earth exists on. the coding languages that we used were HTML5, PHP, and CSS3 with Javascript, the software that we used was Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effect CC, Adobe photoshop cc, Adobe illustrator, Animaker, Cartoon animator 4, canvas.
Space Agency Data
We used data from NASA, University College London, and the Canadian Space Agency. We used them to know more about the five science divisions and the exoplanets that can bear life. It inspired us and we could find our answer and the magical thing we would like to change in it. Researching through these data has helped us to find the idea of the project and gather the information we needed for making such a project. We have also done some external research to gather more information like searching in different trusted websites, books, and journals to support our information.
Hackathon Journey
It was so much fun. We learned much new and beneficial information, and the idea of being a single team and do everything together is an amazing idea. We learned a lot of information and skills and this challenge has forced us to think out of the box and use our creativity to find an interesting idea for the project. While our search and preparing our materials, we learned a lot about the universe NASA's Science, new planets, and the ability of life to travel there. We chose this challenge as we found that many people face a problem dealing with science and that a huge number of them don't know what are these science and what is the connection between them, so we decided to work on a project that can help them understand the connection between NASA's science divisions. we faced some problems(challenges) like choosing the right materials for our website and thinking of the idea of the video, we start to search a lot and think of different solutions so we finally reached to our solution.
