High-Level Project Summary
Our 'I am Nüwa' project will inform young people who do not follow scientific developments and space life closely or do not have a good grasp of the subject. While making this informing, it will benefit from both planetary science and astrophysics, and, will use resources from NASA, CSA, and the other partners. Thanks to Nüwa, we will explain science in a more entertaining and remarkable way.Then, we will develop our mascot and begin to convey interesting and enjoyable planetary stories to new audiences with animations.We are sure that; when we work on 'Nüwa' in the coming years, it will be an alien that gives useful and interesting information and creates an influential impression.

Detailed Project Description
Our mascot Nüwa, whose mascot drawings and trials are in prototype form, obtains information about Mars by using data from NASA in our project.
While designing Nüwa, which we will design in a way to attract the attention of people who are not knowledgeable in science, and, to facilitate the learning of new generations, we were inspired by general culture elements such as "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, STAR WARS, WALL-E...".
Nüwa, which we will transfer to the digital environment in the coming years, will provide profit to NASA in many areas.
Our alien friend Nüwa will also increase the interest of young people in science.
This year is our first year on this project and no one on our team had any coding or software knowledge, so we headed for handdrawing.
Space Agency Data
Because of our mascot's primary purpose is to explore the connections between the disciplines , used by NASA; we have benefited a lot from NASA's and space apps' own datas. This process also brought up the idea of our mascot, which is in the prototype stage, to inform people about Mars.
Hackathon Journey
This hackathon, which we participate with pleasure, while having fun, at the same time; also enabled us to gain new information during our research. Our team's enthusiasm for space and research and for learning new things, pushed us to this challenge. Our team solved the setbacks they encountered by discussing it together and reaching a common decision.
