High-Level Project Summary
Our project is about a wind farm, Panama is one of the countries that has taken the longest to start the restart of schools, however the most affected are those in remote communities where our project could solve several problems such as charging cell phones so they can access their classes online and have access to a TV for their classes, more than all the project is focused on a solution to those farthest from the comforts of electricity and what better way than with a project where the wind will be our main protagonist.

Detailed Project Description
- Our Project being a wind farm provides electric energy through a sustainable mechanism.
- It works because of the quality and intensity of the wind, which is why our feasibility study chose the plains of Veragüense.
- The main benefits are to help the continuity and progress in remote communities where this service has not reached.
- We hope to get a more concrete analysis as we move forward with the different studies since this type of projects are already existing but in larger sizes this would be 10 mills only for operation of communities where they do not have this service.
- The tools so far have been of a theoretical nature, and we only made a sketch in an application for basic plans because it is still a project that is in the stage of extensive feasibility study.

Space Agency Data
So far, we have read several articles, both specific and general, which have opened our vision a little bit to have clearer ideas about our project.

Hackathon Journey
- This challenge has been a great experience because it has taught us how great our capabilities are and more than anything our project was investigative but to give birth to this idea of how it would be its macro location and location also looking for all the necessary information about the feasibility and how it would arise a future planning also taking into account that being a subject of very little information regarding the location that we have eh was not found what was on the internet much about this but we managed to find by other means such as Geography books or we asked old Geography teachers who enlightened us a little about the location that we chose more than anything else for the issue of location and winds that is what is most needed in this project, The experience was very pleasant and enjoyable because it allowed us to be constant in order to achieve an idea and a drafting of the project.
