Modern Solution for HAB

High-Level Project Summary

We've developed a lesson-planand bill of materials (BOM) to teach you howto build a low-cost HAB capable of reaching near-space. HAVE YOU EVER DREAMED OF SEEINGTHE CURVATURE OF THE EARTH? TO INFINITY AND BEYOND... You must access the following page: http://nearspace-nearyou.azurewebsites.net There you can find the steps to follow to get started as well as a series of recommendations

Detailed Project Description

Our solution was to create a web page where we could give an introduction of how an High Altitude Balloon (HAB) is launched in NASA, the minimum materials used to make one and the step by step instructions so the students can make a HAB and live this extraordinary experience. Furthermore we will program a bot sevice on the web page where the students can ask questions about HAB, either coordinate with Goverment Organizations, know the inimum materials to make a HAB, wich other experiments can students do with a HAB, how to calculate the trayectory of the HAB, the records of the NASA, and more. This with the purpose that an student can solve their own questions, to have more interest in the cosmos and most importantly, be creative when launching a HAB

For examlple, that the questions of the students could be solved and that msot of them would be answered by a bot serive. We had the idea of how a HAB is made with the following links

Hackathon Journey

For all of us, this was our first Hackathon. And to be honest was really fun, we made new friends, worked as a team, making and answering questions to find a solution to the challege. Overall this challange made us realize of our strenghts as well of our weaknesses, but most importantly, it made us work as a team, learn from each others areas and gave us the hability to find a modern and creative solution to a probelm.
