High-Level Project Summary
We developed a lesson plan from a poster. Since posters are more understandable, we thought that it is the best way to explain a HAB's (High altitude balloon) making progress. In that way, we believe that there will be no more questions about the building progress of a HAB. We also included information about the equipment used in HAB and for what reasons they are used in a HAB.

Detailed Project Description
Our project is about how to make a HAB (High altitude balloon). It includes steps to be followed to make HAB. We added information about what these balloons are made of and which materials are used. So that, making a HAB is nor confusing neither annoying. By using our research conclusions, we put these steps and materials into a poster.Since the posters are fun, engaging and easy to understand we decided to make a poster. To simplify and analyse the shape of the balloon we made a draft of a HAB by using Auto cad.
Space Agency Data
We searched from the challenges resources page. And we were inspired by a balloon that Nasa used for conducting scientific studies. We checked the photos of that balloon and examine them to get information about the materials and how they were able to connect these materials. To figure out how physics will affect the balloon, we researched the properties of the balloon from NASA's website.
Hackathon Journey
Firstly, it is quite educational and it is the best way of learning about space. That is because of learning while you are experiencing. We had learnt lots of things while we were dealing with such serious circumstances. We have also learned that this job is not boring at all.
In the beginning, our challenge frightened us because it seemed too complicated but experiencing made it easier. We can conclude that we approached with prejudice. Still, we made it.
Unfortunately, we couldn't work face to face because of the pandemic so we used some online platforms to discuss.
We have special thanks to our teammate, Deniz. He was caught to covid-19, and still, he worked with us.
