High-Level Project Summary
We made a didactic lesson plan about a high altitude, low cost and controllable balloon. One of our intentions with this project was to raise the question of why the physical subject hardly has practical classes, while it is common in schools to have biology and chemistry laboratories. We asked this question because we know that physics would be less feared if it were seen in practice, which can be very possible because almost every subject in physics is possible to do a practical activity.And about our balloon, the challenge was just to create a lesson plan about a high-altitude balloon at low cost, but we ended up adding a novelty to the balloon, making it controllable.

Detailed Project Description
This is a lesson plan about a high attitude balloon with the ability to be controlled. the lesson plan acts as an incentive for other teachers and inspiration for students. And the balloon we are talking about works in the same way as a weather balloon, but with a mechanism that allows us to control its descent. We have the benefits of better informed students; in relation to the balloon, which will have the cost of the search very low, since we will do it, I came to us. The new teaching method that brings the active part of physics, which makes this experience more didactic.

Hackathon Journey
It all happened very quickly, the creation of our group took place two days before the deadline for the work as a whole (03/10), so we had to do our best to deliver something. But despite the race we really enjoyed the experience we had with this project. This was our first time, and we hope it won't be the last.

For a short time, we decided to use Sandro Mesquita's work for the extra process of making the fans be activated via bluetooth, his work was very important for the creation of our prototype. Link to access your creation:

One of our main references comes from the explorers of the Santos Drumont and Ferdinand von Zeppelin skies, who have grandly transformed not only the ways of moving around in space, but also the study of such. They were mainly a reference in our choice of updates / prototyping of a system capable of helping the landing sites.
