Detailed Project Description
Tt helps students from everywhere to actually build a stratospheric balloon themselves for scientific research. It works through a website, which has all the tools and information they are going to need during the process. We aim the democratization of this experience: everyone is able to make space's research themselves, we just give them some orientation for doing so. We used the internet for all the researchers, contacted some experts, and used the WordPress for doing our website.
Space Agency Data
We are based on the data provided by NASA and take advantage of some Brazilian Space Agency, in addition to consulting former members of space projects in Brazil.

Hackathon Journey
It was an innovative way of solving problems, we felt working for something bigger than ourselves for the benefit of our entire community. Our team has different age groups, so we had different points of view which made the project more comprehensive and inclusive. The conversation and harmony between the members were essential to arrive at a result. I would like to thank all the mentors for their help and support.
