Hackathon Journey
Space apps was an amazing journey full of fun and so much knowledge. We learn how to build a lesson plan for kids, to interact with people from another countries. We got inspired by help new generations to get inspired by the space, allow them to do experiments since a young age. Giving a different point of view, we know new generations nowadays are more familiar with social media. Comunication, having respectful dialogue, know our strengths.
