High-Level Project Summary
Our challenge was the distance between people and a simple HAB (high altitude balloon), so we developed an app that contains ALL step-bg-step, since planning to HAB recovery.This solution might solve that problem by an intuitive plataform, that has since its beggining easy building and launching steps for a lower cost HAB.We decided to develop that project because we knew that both students and scientists needed that kind of experience, and also by the familiar interaction that might occur during between arranging and recovery of HAB.

Detailed Project Description
Our app provides all support to the planning, buying the equipment, mounting, launching and tracking of HAB. Inside of the app, are displayed a variety of tabs that are separated into well illustrative topics. On the materials menu, there are displayed links to buy the materials, and also, there is a tab that indicates needed keeping while doing the HAB launching.
This app available data that is hard to find the way it's displayed: detailed, informative and together.
With our solution, we just want to show how near to data are people, even with people saying that mounting and launching an HAB was such a complex and distance idea.

Space Agency Data
We based on published articles from the LAICAnSat Project to collect data on the operation and construction of the balloon, examples of the teaching methodology and students' capacity in the article developed by students from a class of the 11th Workshop on Space Engineering and Technologies. Finally, we developed the improvements in communication based on the course completion work by: Guilherme Alves de Souza Lima E Lennon Santos Barbosa.
In building the lesson plan, we gathered information from two videos, one from the SciJoy channel and the other from Dechert 360. Thanks to everyone involved.

Hackathon Journey
Opinion of one of our members:
Well, I would say that it was a unique experience, us from EduSpace team are composed by 4 students and 1 veteran at the Hackathon event, and what inspired us to join this challenge, was the fact that we were students and the will to do different things, the HAB beyond being a very didactic tool, it is dynamic, but not very accessible, thereby, we start to think in how to solve that problem, so we start to search how to make to at length learn and pass along this information. Over that, we have had searching challenges, documents, and how could we prototype it, my team very well-organized chose to solve problem to problem, everyone pledged a lot, and in the end we got to make way more than we expected.
