High-Level Project Summary
the challenge that we work on is to make a blimp with a high quality and low cost, so we decided that we will use the polyester to make the balloon of the blimp. we will make the basket of the blimp from the wicker.And the third part of our blimp is the ropes, that we will make it from steel wire.we will use vinegar and sodium bicarbonate to produce Helium gas to raise the balloon to the highest possible height. And the Vaginer sodium bicarbonate reaction will be done inside a polyethylene box . This box would appear in the lower hole of the balloon to produce Helium. The gas that we recommend to use for rising the balloon. And you have to notice that The balloon will be filled by helium before from the reaction before letting it go.

Detailed Project Description
the challenge that we work on is to make a blimp with a high quality and low cost, so we decided that we will use the polyester to make the balloon of the blimp.
we chose this material because it's very strong, has low density, and it is not expensive.
we will make the basket of the blimp from the wicker because it has a low density, very strong, and isn't expensive.
And the third part of our blimp is the ropes, that we will make it from steel wire
Secondly, we will use vinegar and sodium bicarbonate to produce Helium gas to raise the balloon to the highest possible height
And the Vaginer sodium bicarbonate reaction will be done inside a polyethylene box . This box would appear in the lower hole of the balloon to produce Helium. The gas that we recommend to use for rising the balloon
And you have to notice that
The balloon will be filled by helium before from the reaction before letting it go.
This project will help us to discover the nearby space with a low cost.
Space Agency Data
We read about some other blimps that made and were affiliated to NASA and it was very useful to us, as it helped us to discover more about the materials and gasses.
Hackathon Journey
1 -A wonderful experience that developed our creative, artistic and practical sense
2- No experience is without loopholes, and through our work on this challenge, we were able to build ourselves up individually and collectively as well, and we learned how to deal with surprising problems without any disturbance within the team.
3 - In this challenge, we aim to provide a balloon at a low cost, which increases productivity and increases the number of its users, which provides the opportunity to fly into space easily and carry out scientific research and explorations that help in developing the world and at a low cost available to all.
4 -An approach that aims at low cost but at the same quality.
5- Bring the problem to the attention of the entire team, divide the problem among us, and find a solution.
