High-Level Project Summary
We developed an overview of current research trends related to NASA SMD Disciplines. IWe created insights into these topics and connected them to further innovation processes and sustainability tools. Because for us it's safe our planet first then enhancing humanity through tech, our project got a special focus on Sustainability and NASA Space connections. Although we had some difficulties throughout the Hackathon, we overcame them and created a new way of thinking about global issues that actually might be solved through open innovation for broader audiences. Space for all! We will lower the barriers of entry for upcoming Space Entrepreneurs and many many more!

Detailed Project Description
Most people cannot afford to be part of a space startup and most people who want to be involved with space do not have the background in STEM to be able to do so or fear not to find a foothold in space.
This leads to a lot of frustrated people around the globe and a lot of unseen talent. This is where SWARM INNOVATION comes in.
We used Trello for Project Management, Swipepages, Adobe XD, Bubble.io, Spreadsimple, Miro, WEF Intelligence, Wizdom.AI, Dealflow Innovations, Board of Innovation, Steve Blank Startup Tools, Breakthrough Energy Tools, and more. (Wanted to use Tech/Patent API's by NASA).
Benefits:
Space Education for All
Sustainability Education for all
Business Education for all
Interactive Collaboration Feature
Crowdfunding for initial kickstart
Value for Customers:
Easy way to get a foothold in Space industry
Value for Partner:
Open Innovation Processes and Talent Acquisition
Value for Investors:
Smart capital through early equity with immense growth potential
Value for all:
Enhancing quality of life on earth and beyond through clean technologies and creating impact for several stakeholders.
We literally provided a way of New Connections, New Stories, New Platforms, New Voices and New Audiences and will continue this journey!
Space Agency Data
NASA's open API's inspired us to try to implement additional features like patent search or data visualization tools (that we didn't implement).
Hackathon Journey
Good start, a lot of preparation, project management, team building tasks. Then one member quit. After that the motivation for the other member was gone, so he decided to quit as well. Only ones left were Manuel Olariu with his aerospace engineering mentor who did not actively participate. Due to the lack of coding knowledge Manuel Olariu needed to think around the traditional plan and managed to create a low-code web app.
We learned to highly focus on complementary skillsets, intense teambuilding in an early project phase and visioning as an ongoing motivator throughout the hackathon.
